A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2007 mystery... leaves look like lamb's ear

I have a beautiful plant growing wild near my home. I can't find it with any searches. The nearest thing to it is Lamb's ear. The leaves are soft, whitish green and close to the ground. The plant puts a long thin stalks with quarter size soft dark deep red flowers on the very ends. Does this sound familiar to anyone. I have no Idea and it's driving me crazy...any suggestions.

Is this what it is?? what thu me off somewhat was the red flowers I only seen them in purple

Or maybe lychnis. I have it with pink flowers.

That's what I think--lychnis coronaria. rose campion.

I should have taken a pic. to show.... I have looked at rose campion and lambs ear....and eliminated them... the flower is deep red,soft and a single on the end of stem.. will try to get a pic today...

Nooooo scratch that, it's a yellow flowers...

My rose campion has deep red flowers on the end of branches.
Since I can't get pics to upload on the post, there is a pic on my flickr page of my rose campion.

OOPS!!!!! I have looked closely at Buzylady's pic of rose Campion.... that's it.... the only difference is that the pictured flowers look doubled or at least fuller than mine. My flowers have only 5 deep red petals that are slightly paler toward the middle..... but I do have my answer. Everything else is the same... Thanks to everyone.
