We’ve lived in Madison for nearly twenty years now. I’ve begun gardening since we’ve moved here, at 43 latitude. Many plants are the same as where I grew up in 44 latitude Minneapolis. Still, there is so much flora to learn! Hiking at Pheasant Branch last weekend, I saw pink flowers I didn’t recognize. I asked a botanist friend what it was, she said; Bee Blossom.
Here’s to walking and to learning more each day.

Thank you, Cee. I had fun photographing it from all different angles to see which ones showed the blooms to the best effect. : )

Thanks, Devang. I think it has a bit of a tropical look to it.

Thank you. I looked up the habitat and it only grows in North America from northern Mexico to the Midwest.

Thanks, Rosaliene. I guess its range doesn’t reach South America or CA!

Get the app Picture This. It identifies plants for free. It tries to get you to buy something, but just click on the free part. The only time I’ve seen it flub up was for the rare New England Blazing Star, which it misidentified.
