Description
Nikon 7900 image.
Another native plant that is probably considered as a weed by many. In truth I really consider it a wildflower and not a weed at all, lol.
I see these every year late in the summer. I have no idea what they are. They grow on a single main steam to a height of about 4 foot tall and as they mature, more of the flowery parts form above the existing bloom, thus creating a series of stacked blooms in various states of display. As this happens, the green foliage also starts turning pink. They grow in open areas and prefer as much sun as possible to produce big , numerous, and colorful blooms.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

How amazing! I am in awe. Another new flower, I would be digging some up to put in my garden for sure. Excellent shot, Lee! very detailed and incredible.
Incredible!
A stange but beautiful plant you have captured here. I don't think I would call it a weed either. My wife just said she wouldn't mind a few in her vase. Excellent detailed photography. Bravo!!!!!
I think I feel a sneeze coming on!!beautiful weed and capture
Excellent macro. Awesome colors and great detail. Bravo
Wonderful photography!
What an amazing beauty. I agree, it's a wildflower. Love the little spiny hairs on the petals. Excellent capture. Bunny
Beautiful!
I don't care if it's a weed it's beautiful!
I agree with mamabobbijo. I haven't visited your entire gallery yet, but I bookmarked it and will enjoy it bit by bit as soon as time allows, and in little sips, so that I can really enjoy every work. The ones I quickly glanced at are really the kind of captures I like. As for those name-givings (see your comment on my butterfly III capture): you are right. When you know where to look, you have more chance to find. What I wanted to take a distance from is not the common name, given by people who know them from their contact with the land, but the kill-it-and-put-it-in-a-box mentality of old-fashioned scientists who don't see the beauty, the splendour of this life-form, but only see the classification, prefereably the full latin name, and reduce the confrontation to a safe "ah, it's nothing but...". When I look at your captures, I sense the excitement, the being-there, the disappearing in the moment, the becoming of concentrated awareness. And that I like a lot.
Beautiful...
