   My sister thinks it is a petunia as well, but I’ve never seen a petunia as flat as this with the star inside..It may very well be, though. Thanks, Janet…

   My resident Head Gardener suggests salpiglossis, but suggests more information required (e.g. leaves, size, etc.)

      Checking out slpiglossis. You are right, when I take these closeups, I should also take a photo of the leaves.

   I’m going for Convovulvus – Morning Glory! Although in the US it’s probably better known as Bindweed? see: http://digital.vpr.net/post/vermont-garden-journal-how-grow-morning-glories#stream/0

      It seemed a bit heartier than a morning glory.

   On further inquiry – i’m thinking Primula/primrose? See: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1069/2032/products/Primula_vulgaris_subsp._sibthorpii_3.jpg?v=1456237649

      I think that’s a good guess, although I can’t find a photo of this variety on Google.

   I would have guessed a petunia too, It is an unusual color though.

      Very… and not as wrinkly as a petunia, but there are so many varieties that I honor Bob’s and your expertise.
