    These are perennials, have a mild sweet fragrance, colors are white, pink and purple. A 5 petal flower opens from a trumpet-like stem of the flower. I started them from seed quite some time ago and have forgotten their name. The seeds are so small, like grains of sand. The flower itself is about 1 1/2 inch wide in diameter and seems to prefer the cool evenings when they open rather than hot days when they close up. The flower petals come to a point and are not rounded as may appear in picture.

    If anyone has an idea what they are, please let me know as they are becoming one of my favorite flowers because of their sweet scent.

    Thanks.

    Hey Texas Gardener that's the name alright. Thanks so very much from this transplanted Texan. It's been driving me crazy. I'll add the name to my garden book now.
