    Good evening! I am a newbie here and I hope I'm posting to the right place. I am trying to ID a flower that I took a picture of at Bellingrath Gardens in Theodore, Alabama. I have a close up shot of it and an overall view of the plant. If anyone can help identify this I would greatly appreciate it. :)

    Oxalis violacea maybe.

    I have no idea what the flower is but I do not believe it can be an Oxalis species. There may be some bracts in Oxalis looking like the leaves of this flower but these aren't just bracts and there are no Oxalis-like leaves composed of three leaflets.

    There is other foilage mixed in there. I contacted a lady up at Bellingrath Gardens, where I took the picture. She says it is bacopa that they grow there at the gardens. Maybe it is some type of hybrid.
