Unknown Plant

Hey Everyone,

There's plant that looks a lot like california poppy but has a white-violetish flower. The flower has a very similar complexion to the california poppy. Does anybody know?

Thanks for your time.

need an image. prob. lots of possibilities but without an image it would be only a wild guess.

I'm going to guess that it might be a calochortus, which comes from a bulb. Another possibility is some sort of Oenethera. Images would help, but so would descriptions of the leaves and stems. If the flower has distinctive spots inside, I'd lean even more toward the Calochortus.

This link will help you look after it. They are extremely tough compared to regular ferns. Ask me how I know. ;o) Here is a link that might be useful: Davallia...Rabbit's Foot Fern

The leaves do closely match on that one. Not exactly a stunning plant, huh? Doesn't ring any bells for anything we might have planted either. I'll watch it and see how it goes. Thanks.

I think you may just have got it. If not, a very, very close relative. I will be back there in a couple of weeks, or so, to check things out. I'll post what it looks like then. Thank you.

my guess is probably way off, but maybe a pasque flower?
