Afternoon everyone...thanks for your ideas;)

l'm thinking its Godetia, but still can't see any with the little flowers as well as the large ones!! strange. The stems are very stragly and tall with an edge of red.

Merlin..definately not the stock, no scent at all:(

Could it be clarkia.
Used to be very popular back in the 50s for children“s gardens because it grows almost anywhere, but haven“t seen it for years.

I have a packet of mixed seeds, I will dig them out and see if the packet lists the varieties of flowers. It may help.
