| It looks similar to Texas Bluebells, but the color doesn't look right. It's too rosy. Maybe it's in the same family of plants. |

| I looked up the Texas Blue bell. I agree, the color is wrong as well as the leaves are not the same. Thanks for the input though. |

Hi EKR,
They look like lisianthus to me. They are also known as Texas Bluebell and come in many different forms. Take a look at these sites to see how variable they are.

| To anyone interested, I finally found out that this flower is called a Rose Mallow, a type of Hibiscus. |
