Anyone there? Just stopped by to say Happy 4th!
Now that we have that out of the way---- new mystery flower. Not sure when it started blooming, but it is in my wild area near the water. Pretty pink. Anyone have any ideas? I did look through my wildflower book, to no avail.
Have a safe and happy holiday!
Update-- Freda and Daricia are wonderful... the ID for my pretty little flower is- Swamp Marsh Pink or Sabatia angularis. thanks ladies.

Cute! Time to start naming your anole friends! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat flower sure looks familiar. Let me look at my wildflower books.
Look up images for swamp marsh pink. There are several forms, but I think it may be one of those.
ReplyDeletelooks like sabatia! i just took a bog plants class ... will be posting about sabatia dodecandra soon. (i think yours is probably s. angularis). great anole picture! very cute.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is, but I like it. Lucky You! That star shape in the center of the wide open flower, and the curly-cue stamens are pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteLove your little peeping Tom. :) What a nice little wildflower. Glad it was IDed for you. Have a happy 4th.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute photo of a Carolina anole!

Lisa
That is a pretty little gem you have there. Glad it was ID'd for you.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful 4th.
Janet,
ReplyDeleteI think Daricia nailed it. This plant is common here as well. Lovely clusters of flowers aren't they.
The first photo is priceless and your caption ~ perfect!
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th to you and your family too Janet. I bet you are boating??
Glad you got an id on your beautiful pink flower ~ there are so many knowledgeable people in blogland, that's for sure!
Cute Anole! Looks like the Geico commercial, lol. Nice wildflower find and glad you have an id.
ReplyDeleteAren't garden bloggers great? So glad they could i.d. your mystery plant. Love your little visitor:) Have a Happy Fourth, Janet!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I keep thinking of Geico?

What a great find! Beautiful flower and a freebie. Doesn't get any better than that.
ReplyDeleteThat first picture is hilarious! Love it!
ReplyDeleteRe: your comment on my blog - my mom took us to lots of museums when we were little, and I ended up being married at the art museum! so, we're definitely getting Clara started young.
Happy 4th!

ReplyDeleteCute picture of the anole! We have Marsh Pink here too. Pretty and a really nice fragrance.

Hi Janet,
