Solved ID Pink Imposter - Matthiola, Night Scented Stock

Any ideas? Hoping it's a wildflower.

 

Well, yeees, it is a wild flower, but so is a dandelion. And a creeping buttercup. They are bit too wild for me.

The flower looks like it's in the cruciferae (cabbage) family, a brassica maybe , I'm thinking some kind of stock or erisymum. Is it scented? I'd have said hesperis matronalis but the leaves and size aren't right.

Aha. Could it be night-scented stock?

I think it could well be Madahhlia,

Aye, that's the one. Thank You. I wonder where it came from???

 

They are quite easy to grow from seed. Did you scatter a mix down at any time?

 

It's in the herb corner so I can't have done. A true imposter.
