Does anyone know what kind of flower this is?
Look closely. The first person who guesses correctly will win a prize. I’m not sure what yet–but of course it will be wonderful. Spectacular even.
Here’s a hint: It’s not something I ever hoped to see…ever.
Guess away–and I’ll announce the winner and the prize on Monday August 3 at 10:00 am.
Good luck my dah-lings!
Is it edelweiss? I know in the Sound of Music is refers to it as blossoms of snow – but I wondered if there was a pink variety. I always assumed it was a European thing – someplace I only dream about.
Uh… sorry guys… wish I could help, but I think I missed that herbology class! :S
Here’s my guess:
WallflowerÂ
(AKA: Erysimum pallasii (Pursh) Fernald (?))
:o)

It looks like wild radish blossoms
I am going to make a few quesses. The Longleaf Phlox or the Honesty flower (also known as Lunaria). My dad couldn’t tell me what it was so, I did my homework.
I have no clue. My mother-in-law says it is from the mustard family but no clue!
I t looks like the same flower from your button to me. Is it? I agree with Jan above that it really looks like wild radish blossoms.
Ok I have another guess. Is it a flower that can be made into a drug? opium? Or marijuana has a purple flower?
It does look similar but the Gracious Rain button flower is a Periwinkle.
ok I thought it was something you did NOT want to see ever so . . . maybe poisonous or something. I am glad it is family friendly:)
Since I can’t see the leaves, I have three guesses:
1. Dame’s-rocket
2. Honesty
3. Cuckoo-flower
“Small, and whiiite. Clean and bright…” I’d love to see them in their natural habitat too. Someday…
Where is Professor Sprout when you need her?
Is there really such a thing as a wallflower? I thought that was just someone who didn’t get asked to dance.
Hmmmmm…
I’m not surprised that even Andy–the best gardener in the whole universe–didn’t recognize this bud. It’s likely he’s never had to see it.
“Mustard? Let’s don’t be silly!” (Alice in Wonderland)
Yeah, I just don’t want to see it. Not willing to go to jail for it!
No, no. Yikes! This is a family friendly flower.
What a bunch of cool flower names. Sometimes they don’t even sound real, do they? Dame’s-rocket? What the heck?
:]
SO WHAT IS THE ANSWER ?
Sorry I was a bit late on announcing that one. I was weeding…no, really…I was. It’s posted now.
Is this an Iris perhaps? Very beautiful indeed.
