  2. Yes, these are the colors which make me swoon! Is this a wildflower?

  3. Okay--I'm envious! LOL What a great shot! How many did it take before you got such a gem?!

    Gotta love the crispness of the one and the blurred brilliance of the others.

  5. Thank you, Marilyn! Yes, they're delicate little blooms on tallish stalks.

    Hi, swallowtail! Loosestrife if a native wildflower here in Ontario Canada, but this variety with the burgundy leaves I believe is a hybrid. I love yellows in the garden.

    Thanks so much, Mel. For once, it only took about six shots. That's when I'm really grateful for digital photography :)

    B, aren't the names of plants - both common and botanical - fascinating? Thank you!
