Freitagsblümchen
Magenta and lavender are not my hues. But the more I take photos, the more I admire the gentle pinks and complementary colors/colours. (NB. I did lower the vibrancy by -2 or -3 in camera raw.)
This little gem measures about 5 cm. On a windy, recently rainy day. My kind of weather.
"Eutrochium is a North American genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the sunflower family. They are commonly referred to as Joe-Pye weeds. They are native to the United States and Canada, and have non-dissected foliage and pigmented flowers."
~Wikipedia
"Joe Pye (Jopi in the Native tongue), an Indian healer from New England, used E. purpureum to treat a variety of ailments, which led to the name Joe-Pye weed for these plants."

Bees seem to like it. Lavender or sage blooms behind the pink Joe Pye.
Taken this morning for the relatively new and active group: Freitagsblümchen
