Could someone help me identify this plant on the below mentioned link?

The plant is about four foot in height, the flower petals are a purple
colour, star shaped and only appear to open during the morning period, the
stalk and leaves are not unlike the leaves and stalk of Pinks but greener
and larger.

The plant appeared in my neighbour's garden, we are all mystified,

Isn't there an Australian group that can help you?

It's not as clear a photograph as the last one posted, but I think that
it's salsify (Tragopogon porrifolius) again. If this is the case then
the "petals" are actually ligulate florets.

What's Australia got to do with it? - the OP seems to be posting from
BT.
