Flower I.D.

13 years ago

What flower is this? My sister said she got the seeds
from me, but I don't have this flower. Probably came fro
one of the the seed swaps here, since these are the only
one's I participate in. When I'm at my sister's house, I
say, "oh, what a pretty flower". Then she tell's me, "I
got the seeds from you". This is one of them.

Thanks Annette, that's it. I don't remember any seeds
labeled jupiter's beard, but one was labeled red valerian,
which is the same thing. It is such a vibrant pink color.
Now I have to get seeds from my sister.
