 Anyone know anything about this plant?

I don't but it I know that we will see it in a year or two.  New plants come 
west to east now so what you guys on west coast discuss, we will see in the 
following season.
Silene and Lychnis are mixed up taxonomically so it may have been around 
before with another name.  Either way, report on it, Susan, I know we will 
see it next year.
PS to Silene - it is a three syllable word which suprises all when some 
speaker comes up with the three syllable pronounciation.  I and my once 
companion to meetings had a long drive argument over this word, he could not 
believe sigh-lee-nee, nor could I until we were proven wrong.
