It came from a packet of mixed seeds. l bought them for grandson to do his mini garden:o)) This one is pink/white and has TWO different flowers, one quite large , the other small growing from the same plant!!!!!!. l have purple and white and also the smaller version of a pale pinky orange.
My sister took a sample yesterday to show a friend who is usually good with plants but did'nt know what it was!! she's taking it to show a friend who is an expert!!

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.
