What flower is this? Anyone know?

Posted in Nature Study

The other day while on the phone, I was out walking around my over grown yard. As I was weeding my garden, I noticed this very tall plant with these beautiful pink flowers on it. I snapped a picture of it with hopes of identifying the flower.

 

 

Last night, after a long trip to NH to pick up my kids, I noticed that there were more open flowers on the plant, so I snapped another picture, hoping it would help me find out what it is a little bit more.

 

 

I had no luck looking it up in a wildflower guide for the eastern states as well as no luck on enature.com. So I am hoping someone here can help me out. The plant is rather tall, probably about a foot and a half to two feet tall. You can see it's leaves in the picture as well (the bigger leaves in the picture belong to our hostas and peony).

Let me know if you have any luck figuring out what this is.

I believe it is a wildflower called Dames Roket , but not positive. It has a very strong floral scent, and fades very fast when picked
