Satin Flower, Farewell to Spring, Godetia, Clarkia grandiflora, Godetia grandiflora
Clarkia amoena (Satin Flower) is an upright annual boasting ravishing racemes of satiny, cup-shaped, slightly flaring flowers, 2-3 in. (5-7 cm), from late spring to early-mid summer. Single or double, the blossoms can be lilac, pink, red, or lavender, often with a blotch or spot at the base of each petal. Borne on erect to lax stems clad with lance-shaped leaves, they give way to dry capsules, which split open when mature to release their numerous seeds.
