Found these near the town this morning. The stalks and the back of the flowers were covered in white hair and the flowers were very light pink, almost white, similar to that of B. dioica.

Next to the flowering plant there were several mature picta leaves, pointing logically that my plant was of the same species, but I could be wrong. Please advise.
