I can almost feel the sunshine 🙂 I lived in Seattle for 8 years, and weather like that doesn’t come often!
Don’t know what flower that is but it sure looks wonderful! So does the weather. 🙂
It looks like some kind of lupine to me, but than I’m famous for not being a botanist!
This is so lovely and summerly picture! Great!
What a gorgeous photo the weather looks goregous from the photo! Very nice caputre!
Beautiful Penstemons against the light, they look so delicate.
They are a lovely delicate colour with the light shining through them! You got a great photo to share!
Very nice caputre!
It’s very pretty! I think the stem is unusual looking.
Looks like obedient plant to me, also called false dragonhead. Physostegia virginiana is it’s Latin name. It’s a wildflower here in Ontario, though I see it more often in cottage gardens than in the wild. LOL
Nice photo!
Hi Ellen,
This is a beautiful blossom and I love the light you’ve captured in the photo!

That is beautiful! I like the green border too;)
Wonderful picture..
The Physostegia virginiana, Obedient Plant or False Dragonhead is a herbaceous perennial plant. Loved by insects and Hummingbirds.
Great wildflower for the garden.
– Cheers.
Lovely shot of the flower 🙂
I’ve joined Today Flowers for the first time today on my blogspot 😛
That is a beautiful shot!! I love the sunny light in the picture!
Wonderful light, super photo. I live in Seattle so photos of sunshine are always so welcome. Great post for Flowers for Today.
Hello, Have a nice week ahead!!!
I like how you’ve taken this…. I feel child-sized looking through the flowers again…. I recall being small and longing to be taller to see more… now I long to be small and care free again.. .. what thoughts ones pictures can bring to our minds.
