Purple Wildflower
I don't know the exact name of this purple wildflower, however it looks like "Rose vervain and Sweet rocket", but still very different and beautiful. It looks like a flower of flowers from the top. The petals have a special pattern, three petals joined together are in one shape, having relatively wide size, while the remaining two are some how narrow in shape.
