What is this pink flower? (Centaury) - Moth - 23-07-2020

It is growing in the wild but it is so pretty it could be a garden escapee. it's a little larger than Virginian stock.

Yes, that's it. thank you all. I've never seen it before. This is certainly the first year it has grown around here too. There must be other wildflower seedbomb guerillas around here, furtively sowing, as well as me!   Angel  Big Grin
