Any chance of a close-up of just one flower. I would guess a Clarkia cultivar, but not sure.

OP here. Godetia it is - which is also a Clarkia amoena. So both were right. Really beautiful and I found that American Meadow sells the seeds. Yeah. Thanks all for the help. I love edhat :-).

The flowers look like those of an Alstroemeria.

608P - OP here. Not Alstroemeria. I have those and that is not what these are. Godetia is really what they are. Wild flower, which explains the volunteer status.

Wow, I would've guessed Alstroemeria too. Never heard of Godetia - thanks.

Definitely Alstoemeria, commonly known as Peruvian Lily.

Godetia are on almost every seed rack. Stover Seed sells them in bulk (1 or 2 oz) pkgs. I think Island S&F has them. They're called Farewell to Spring, as they grow and bloom after the rains have stopped and soil and air temps rise. The last of the wildflowers to bloom. A signpost of summer's arrival. They make great long-lasting cut flowers and modern hybrids are available as jumbo pack seedings in in early spring at independent garden centers.

801, while alstroemerias' flower color range is similar, they have a different flower form, and their stems and foliage are different as well. Their seed pods are totally different. Alstroes' are fat, indented-topped cups, while godetias' are long slender banana-shaped pods. Hope this helps.

Alstroemerias are more soft tissued and shade dwelling.
