This came from a flower seed mixture I planted this spring, and the only one I cannot figure out. Thank you!

ah yes - I remember sowing this because the seed packet has this beautiful bloom - unfortunately, the scale was nowhere promoted and I was quite miffed with the absolutely minuscule red flowers.

Thank you, friends from the UK! I don't think this plant is so common here in the US.

It's not very common here either. Although it is a native I have never seen one in the wild. It has been lost, along with many arable wild flowers, with changes in agriculture.
