Hi People

here is a flower that I didn't plant but really love! I'd like to know what it is as the bees go crazy for it and it's very pretty

    Would that be the pink version (Canon Went) Ladybird4? I grew some last year and they have flowered for weeks......the purple ones grow wild in my garden so I figured the pink ones would do well too.

    I have purple and pink and the bees love it. It does tend to seed about a bit, but easily identifiable if there are too many and you want to eradicate.
