I've added 2 more pictures, not the best due to harsh sunlight, but they do give a good impression of the flower.
@SarahHiteWhitt Thanks!
I love the promise of bud's in general, you never know exactly when it will open and what awesome beauty will emerge.
I will check later whether I have a picture of the opened flower. I'm rather sure I have one, but not now at hand. Give me some time to upload.
Very pretty! I have "Rose" Campion in my garden (Southeastern Ohio). Its leaves are like that of Lamb's Ear. Really different. Am curious to see this bud whenever it opens.
