Ronaldhanko tentativly idendified this as Polycycnis barbata (thank you!) but my photo was rather distant. I dicovered I have some more of that plant which might help nail it down.

Very lovely! I have no clue what it is, except lovely!

Same as Kiki, I can't help with ID but it's really pretty!

This is the ISOPE photo of it which does look a bit different, although I don't know how much this one varies.

the picture of yours and the one in the ISOPE link doesn't look the same. I can see some resemblance, but there are some parts that are clearly pretty different, more them just the color variation. Other then that, I am of no help!

Granted my close up isn´t as sharp as it could be but I´m pretty sure my flowers didn´t have any "beard".

I know this thread is ancient. I came across it looking for info on Polycycnis barbata. In case anyone is still interested, that plant looks a lot more like a Xylobium to me. I'm not sure about the species, but it's not P. barbata.

Thanks very much for commenting despite the ancient post. I am very much interested in identifying it. It's growing in the woods on my property.
