    Hello all,

    I have asked about 4 different Botanical Gardens or plant experts what this is but can't seem to get an answer. Can you assist?

    It is really more white than lavender in the middle but I added the affect for artistic measure.

    Thank you,
    AC

    Probably Eustoma grandiflora, incorrectly called Lisianthus in the horticultural trade. Need to see the whole plant (leafy stem too) to be sure.

    Could also be a double form of Nicandra physaloides. Need to see foliage to know!

    I think on the left one sees the long unfolded tube of a datura (pointed upright, so not a brug.)
