Sabatia dodecandra, the marsh rose gentian, Liberty Co. Florida.
They are annual or perennial herbaceous plants growing to 10–130 cm tall, with opposite leaves. The flowers are produced in large cymes at the top of the stems; the flower corolla has 5–12 lobes, colored pink or white, with a contrasting central yellow 'eye'. The fruit is a capsule containing numerous small seeds.[3]

Cultivation and uses
Several species are cultivated as ornamental plants in gardens.[3]
gollark: Due to uncertainty things non-[HG]Tech™ entities cannot, as far as I know, measure light and whatever to arbitrary precision, so I assume they can't create it to that either.
gollark: No, there are physics reasons too. Something something planck length/time/etc.
gollark: (sum the wave thingies thingied with intensity and transform it and get the function of frequency)
gollark: Sum all the incoming light and get a function of frequency out.
gollark: If it was, we would have to deploy Fourier transforms or something.
