Hi, This was growing in a pot, had nice bright red little flowers
perhaps the size of a quarter that I really never thought about until I
was asked what it was. Now the flowers are gone so I took pictures of
the leaves and a seed pod. Flower was maybe 2.5ft tall, seed pod 3/4
inch with about a thousand of the smallest seeds. Ok, over a 100! 8-)
So I'm asking for help, I'll watch here or the email addy is good.
Thanks,
Jim

Lychnis coronaria, also known as mullein pink, rose campion,
gardener's delight and bloody William.
Thank you so much, now I don't have to wonder.
