Plant - does anybody knows what it is?

I was looking for the one with most buds and did not notice it had no tag.  Now I have no idea what it is and what position it hould be in 😞  Does anybody recognises it?

I can see why it is called a Balloon flower ( flower before it opens). Balloon flower is easier to remember than its botanical name. It is very pretty

My flower is definitely balloon flower = Platycodon grandiflorus; it has 4 petals joined together in shape of shallow cup.  The buds look like balloons.

I recognise it.....I had it in blue.  It was in a pot and a local stray cat used to sleep on it and finally killed it.  It dies down over the winter.

For the life of me I cannot remember the name of it though and the label has long since gone missing.

It is a pink Petalia Quodrosa Enormata 🙂

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I googled that name poddster, to find out more about that plant, and no result. It is spelt right? Does it have a common name?

 

A plant with an enormous pink petal? That your translation?
