| It is in the Phlox family, the petals have a heart shaped tip which rules out many. I saved a load of seeds. The bees seem to love them and they grow all around my garden. I'd just like to know what to call it. |

| I got an email from Prairie Nursery, Inc. in Wisconsin saying it's Bounding Bet (Saponaria officinalis). Non-Native but pretty. Karen seems to have hit it. Thanks to all. |
