Light Satin Flower is closely related to a popular
garden plant
Farewell to Spring. It varies in
height from 10 to 100 cm. The buds are usually erect. Sepals are
typically fused and turned to one side under the flower. The pale pink
to rose-purple flowers have a central carmine-colored splotch in the
center of each petal. The flowers open during the day and tend to close
at night. The petals are mostly greater than 2 cm long, and are rounded
to obtuse in shape. Another key characteristic is the linear stigmas
which are usually more than 2 mm long, and the seed capsules are not
strongly curved. Light Satin Flower is native to SW. Canada to W.
Oregon, cultivated elsewhere.
