No clue what it is, sorry. Check on Plant Snap.

I was gifted wild geranium that looks similar to your plant, though mine is taller, has light purple flowers, and is very aggressive. It's been in the garden over a decade, been dug up soooo many times, and still thrives.

Do you have, or could you get, a pic or two of OPEN flowers?

When I first saw it I thought the closed flowers looked kind of like a Pulsatilla, and are the right color--but the foliage is all wrong! And I thought the foliage looks like an Anemone sylvestris--but the flowers are all wrong, and the wrong color!! It could very possibly be a Geranium, but without a better pic of an open flower, I can't be sure--and if it IS a geranium it can be anything from a Nice Little Well Behaved Plant--to something that will Eat The World!

Here you go. Also this is what I had a tag for but it’s not right. I can’t find another similar but I know I was trying to beat the rain and snow so maybe I missed it. Pretty sure I would have got this at the same sale.

My mom figured it out! I was showing her the anemones in my front yard I got from Skybird and she made a comment that the mystery flowers leaves look like an anemone. Then I remembered....that I ordered some anemone blanda pink star bulbs from Longfield and intermixed them among my perennials! So that explains why it looks like they spread and why I didn’t have a name for them. They might still spread quite a bit (or not) but seems liveable? They are cute.

All righty then! First, the leaves in the pot ARE Callirhoe, so you did get what you paid for! Did you plant that, and did you get ANY flowers last year--"purple-pink/fuchsia" colored cup-shaped flowers? Do you still have a plant with leaves like the ones in the pot--in other words, did the Callirhoe survive?

What the daisy-like flower is, I don't know! All the flowers I can think of right now that have flowers anything at all like that have foliage that's COMPLETELY different! And anything I can think of with foliage like that doesn't have a flower anywhere near that!

Did you get "those flowers" in that area last year? Did you plant any annuals around there last year? Since I'm not coming up with anything at all, I suspect it most likely is an annual--a reseeding one. That means that the seeds could have been brought in by a bird or some other critter last year or this year--and it has nothing to do with the Callirhoe! Or, there could have been some type of annual seed in the soil in the pot that didn't germinate till they were planted in your yard. MANY annuals reseed, most very easily--that's how they perpetuate themselves.

I rarely suggest going to a different forum, but if nobody else here on RMG comes up with an answer, you might want to try posting on the annuals forum, or a "what is this plant" forum--if there is such a thing!

In "normal" times I'd suggest you dig one of them up, stick it in a pot, and take it over to DBG to see if somebody there could ID it for you--but these are NOT Normal Times! I don't know if this is possible, but is there any way you could send the pics to somebody at DBG to see if it's something they sell at their sale?

I hope somebody can ID it, 'cause you've got me really wondering!

YES! I KNEW the flower looked SO familiar! Thank you for the answer! I've planted A. blanda over the years and generally have very bad luck with them coming back! This year I had ONE of the white ones come back and bloom! They're SO pretty, and they last surprisingly long! I've never had any of the colored ones bloom in my yard! I hope yours come back better for you than mine have! I like them so much that that's something I probably will spend money on to "try again" at some point!

So glad you figured it out!
