I'm sorry, but I didn't get the name of this when I shot the pic,
but it was taken at a favorite place of mine...
Missouri Botanical Garden in St Louis, Missouri.
I truly l♥ve it there & would go every weekend, if I could...
Hope you enjoy my 1st entry to this lovely meme!
My dad had surgery today & it's his 68th birthday!
Lots of prayers!!!

Can't help you with the name Tricia, but it looks very nice en masse like that. Almost like it should be spring !
Seeing this beautiful plant on a cold night is a wonderful pleasure.
Tricia, welcome to Simple Pleasures. What a great way to start, too. Perfect! And that is Mexican Heather. We have it in abundance here in the summer in Southest Texas. Love the purple flowers.
Thanks for joining up with our fun party here with Dayle! Those flowers are soooo pretty and I so needed that tonight in the middle of our Nor'Eatern blizzard!

Nature and the blossoms in it give so much pleasure. I hope you Dad feels better soon. Prayers.r
Very delicate.
Beautiful. Now if it were only like that outside....NOW. :)
You've shown a number of photos from the botanical gardens, all of which have been beautiful - like this one. I can see why that would be one of your favorite places!
Sorry to hear about your father, Trish! We'll keep him in our thoughts. As Lois Anne says, we'll keep him in the "light."
It is so lovely Tricia! Hope your Dad is OK.
very pretty and hoping your dad is doing well
I like the flow of the stems in this colorful and pleasing shot. The bit of color in the blossoms sets the picture off very well. I wish you dad all the best and a speedy recovery.
I would love to go in there as well, and would feel like I was having those precious moments in life we call simple pleasures.
I love the pictures of your barns. i too collect barn pictures.
Have a wonderful day!

What a nice breath of spring...heather is so pretty. Best wishes to your Dad, hope he has a speedy recovery! Happy B.day to him too!
Hi Tricia, these lovely purple flowers are "Mexican Heather" Cuphea hyssopifolia. I grow borders of them in different colours, from white to dark purple. I am glad you enjoy their beauty. All my best wishes for your dad.
I love the vibrant colors and texture in this photo.
Mexican Heather! We have some in our backyard. Wonderful photos!
Happy Birthday to your Dad! Have a speedy recovery!
Take care!
