The botanical name is Matthiola incana and it is a member of the cabbage family. It is heavily used by florists in bouquets and arrangements and has a lovely fragrance. It has a large range of colors from whites to lavenders to various shades of pink. This is a double which are fairly common but this was growing outdoors which is not as common here.

Such beauty from a member of the cabbage family Kathy. I hope I don't get gas from gazing at its beauty.
Wonderful post

Those flowers are lovely Kathy - I think I had those flowers in bouquets - they were white and single - not the double - Great Find and Great Capture!!!

Kathy, maybe interesting to know that the botanical name Matthiola is a tribute to Pietro Andrea Matthioli (1500-1577), an Italian artist and botanist. The species designation incana is derived from the Latin 'incanus' (gray), which refers to the silver-gray hairy leaves.
Wonderful floral capture! You amazes me again if finding/capturing so much different flowers!
