Pond Boy is Noah.
Jim,
Sorry, but the floral color is only good for eliminating possibilities. I mentioned some of the more unique members of the species in the earlier D. spatulata thread, and so won't repeat that here.
With a species of such wide distribution and variability, I regret that there is little hope of assigning population specifics to orphans lacking collection data, unless some detailed variation presents itself (hairy sepals, white flowers, diminuative stature, atypical styles). Most D. spatulata flower pink.
BTW Pond Boy I have found that D. spatulata are invariably self fertile, so hand pollination isn't really needed, unless you are honing your skills.
