Came up in a wildflower mix. Can't seem to find it in the fieldguide. Thanks!

Looks to me like red flax. Your picture is better than what I found
on Google, but here's one anyway:

Your photo is still the best, or at least appears most like I remember
the flower, I like that one, it epitomizes red for me. There is a
blue variety, equally attracting, in my opinion.

I would agree with Red Falx if it has alternate, pointed, but rather oval
shaped leaves along the stem. Could be a garden escape.

Sorry - just noticed it is in a wild flower mix. I saw it recently on some
downs near home (south England), presumably deliberately introduced.
