    The leaves and stems look like a fuschia? :)

      The leaves look like fuschia and I had also wondered about honey suckle but the flowers just aren't right.

          We have a winner :goodpost:

          This pic shows them pre-opened as well so when you compare them to the OP pics, I`d say Cara is spot on.

          The only puzzling thing about it is that Clarkia is an annual :scratch:. So, if you're correct, it means it has seeded itself and isn't an overwintered plant.

          Isn't this a splendid example of GC's ability to identify plants? Certainly is the College of Knowledge.
          I like the look of that Cara.
          Feel another plant coming on....:wub2:
