Looks like you're gonna have to do what i did,and have lots of patience til it blooms.I had one that i couldn't figure out either,is it a weed,or a flower??Once mine bloomed,i found it on the net and was able to identify it.

try posting in the "name that plant" forum. Those folks can id nearly anything...they take it as a source of pride and a challenge.

It's a throatwort!!

well, let's start the guessing!

sweet william?

GH-

It's wonderful! Put that in the seed swap for sure!

It's hard to tell how tall it is, but it looks like a hardy phlox I have in my beds.

Kathi-beautiful soapwort!

HW

Thanks all for your response.

HW, we think it's a phlox too but it hasn't bloomed yet so we'll have to wait and see!

Kathi, I've never seen a throatwort...strange looking but pretty.

Kathi,

I've never seen a throatwort, either. It's beautiful.

Maybe I'm still in a 4th of July mind set, but doesn't it remind you of a fireworks show, particularly the second picture?
