For the life of me I am drawing a blank this plant. I know I got it form one of the RU's in the first 2 yrs here but there is no tag with it
I'm helping a young lady with a school project of getting 20 flowers, drying/pressing them and having names with them this one will make #6 for now as she has until the start of May to have it done.
Help IDing this
Phyllis, are the flowers and the leaves the same plant? If not, which one do you want to know about?
yes it is all the same plant
It looks like lenten rose also known as a hellabore.
Drummond Phlox, Phlox drummondii. They are usually red in color, but can be found in a variety of pink shades as well as white.
