But the flowers in the original picture aren't four o'clocks.
Yes, I see what you mean. The blossoms resemble 4:00 but that's
all. The foliage, assuming that I'm looking at the right stuff, is
familiar but my old brain isn't connecting this morning....
Had an e-mail from the original poster. It turned out to be a white
cultivar of corncockle (Agrostemma)
Final ID: Agrostemma githago 'Ocean Pearls'
Apparently, this species is considered an invasive weed in parts of
North America (reseeding annual).
