Plant identification please

Hello,
Can anyone name the pink plant in the photos?

I have included the toe of my boot to show scale.  I do have size 9 feet though so that it not a small delicate ladies foot in the picture, but my big clodhopping ladies foot 😁


Many thanks

Eustoma? Not something I've grown, as it's a specialised florist's plant, if I'm correct with the ID.

Edit: Not sure now. I'm almost certain I've grown these! Clarkia? Stocks? They do look familiar....

Thanks for the suggestions, but none of those names ring a bell.

I will have planted this myself, but when you create a large garden from scratch and plant 1000s of plants you forget one, or two of them!

Have you tried the 'Seek' app?

Then, driving in the car, I suddenly thought, "Godetia!"

....but it's not that either.

Some kind of mallow/hollyhock?

Lisianthus? Another name for Eustoma as mentioned above.

I'm thinking it's most likely. Many years ago, I used to buy Chiltern Seeds' lucky bag mix with my order, so if it grew from that I'd not have known the name. No internet or apps then!

I only know the name since  buying them as cut flowers in the supermarket!

Thanks everyone.
It does seem to be Lisanthus and I do know this name too
Or, as Dave correctly said Eustoma, but I have never heard it called this before.

Not heard if that app before.  I have had a quick look at it and it looks quite good.

Thanks for the suggestion.
