My 8th wildflower find of summer... by marlboromaam

My 8th wildflower find of summer...

Not sure what it is. I suspect it's some kind of ruellia, but I will defer to the experts at the South Carolina Native Plant Society and wait for their reply. It's not sharp - had to shoot it from a distance in the weeds.

Update from the SC Native Plant Society and Dr. Hill: He's says it's Petunia x hybrida and an escapee from someones garden. A hybrid cultivar but, much smaller than any petunia I've seen and the scalloped edges are very unusual.

We have some ruellias similar to this in AZ. They're prolific growers

@ryan161 Thank you very much, Ryan! This is first I've seen anything like it around here. Some bird must've left a seed or it was carried by the wind.

@samae Thanks, Sarah!

@mittens Thank you, Marilyn! I wish I could've gotten closer. It would be sharper. Had to zoom from about 4 feet away.

I like how the depth of field is shallow in the front and sharpens as you go in so 3-d.
