I was given a packet of mixed wildflower herbaceous seeds, which dear gardener has propagated. This one has got us stumped. The flowers are tiny, but when photographed using macro they are beautiful - actually to me they look like a rabbit sticking out its tongue and using a pair of paddles to guide an airplane into position. Any idea what the plant is?
