I planted some seeds last year, but do not remember exactly what I planted.  I think this flower is from one of those seeds.  Can anyone identify this for me please?

 

Thanks!

Dolligarden writes: Thanks, DreamGardener. I think you are right on it being a Brassica. Looks like it's Hesperis matronalis (Dame's Rocket) and it's a noxious list b weed species here in Colorado. Thanks for the help! :) Posted: 8:59 pm on May 17th
