Wild flowers have been allowed to grow unmolested by the lawnmower at Magnolia Cemetery in Charleston and this morning there were more types than I ever remember seeing there. A nice patch of these pink beauties, perhaps some kind of mallow, caught my eye.
A single bloom off on its own shows delicate pink shades.
The ground was dry and after scanning for snakes, ants and other creatures I got down on the ground for a few images

Hi Ellen.. just love these and I suspected they’re a gorgeous flower that we inherited a few of in a previous garden.. pink evening primrose. I’d love to see them in a big swathe like this. Here’s a page I found when confirming the id, it shows the flower close-up and it has the same appearance. Oenothera speciosus Rosea.

Liz, I do believe that is it, thank you! It was quite lovely to see this big patch and great that the keepers of the grass here leave them be.
These are lovely!
Thank you, David!
beautiful!
