Help ID this flower please.

Looks like what we call hummingbird vine. How big does it get?

Not a vine. Just about knee high. I think So Lucky nailed it. Pheasants eye.

It’s very pretty.

@Carol Dee, I planted a pack of mixed flower seeds this spring, and I think I may have some of those kind of flowers in the group that has come up. It's a fragile looking, ferny little seedling, but very plentiful in the row. It's interesting to see what all is coming up. There's even some lettuce coming up. Maybe that blew across from another part of the garden.

Could be, it is crazy what they put in those mixed seed packs. Could also be cosmos or cleome.

Ugh! I hope it's not cleome. That is pretty but so invasive. I planted it in one of my flower beds about 20 years ago and it took me about 10 years to eradicate it!
And, it smells like a wet dog. I already have one of those, thank you.

@so lucky you will know soon enough. If it is, pull it out BEORE it goes to seed!

 

[so lucky]

Yeah, let's just say mine were growing in a bed that didn't get much close inspection.
