I am trying to identify an annual that is referred to as Macheyka in Polish.  Popular flower in Poland.  It's blooms open at dusk with a very fragrant scent.  Grows 1-2 ft high - may require trellis or some sort of support.  Looks like grass when the blooms are closed.  Flowers are blue or a shade between blue and lavender.  Tiny black seeds/pollen.  All my aunt remembers is that she found a packet of seed for this flower last year in central Canada and there was a reference to "Fragrance of Summer".  Please help me identify this plant.  Thank you!

Hi DP,

Night scented stock aka Matthiola longipetala or Matthiola bicornis comes to mind.  Does this look like what you saw?
