Thanks for attaching the picture of “Deer horn Clarkia” the petals looks like horns of deer hence the name.

Please help ID this ornamental plant

Perhaps a Cuphea sp..

Could it be Clarkia elegans? Just a guess.

I hope Clarkia pulchella

Comes under Family : Onagraceae

Thank you all for the possible Ids. It does seem to be Clarkia sp, and from images I have browsed on the net it seems to be like C. pulchella like … said. So can we take it to be this species
