I will ask her the name of it and add.
Update :Bear’s Britches(breeches) is the common name . It is a wildflower that grows in Pa woods. Needs sun to flower as it is doing now. I will look up the Latin name and get back in to you later.
Second update Ruth it is acanthus mollis. It needs partial shade and very wet soil. It needs some sun to bloom well. It can be invasive so you have to watch it and pull out stems and roots if it starts to expand. I have not found it to be a problem in that regard but I don’t let it expand much
And then my sister just sent me a photo from her Hudson River Walk today in New York City
How fabulous. A new one to me. Great shot 🙂
Lovely photos Ruth 😊
Beautiful photos! Thanks for sharing!
What a gorgeous flower! The blooms seem quite large, although it’s hard for me to tell. Thanks for posting these.
So very lovely
It looks tall to me as well. Lovely contrasting colors.
I’ve never heard of this wildflower before…I think it’s beautiful! I wonder if it has a scent?
thanks for the update…..and on the Library Lions, too!!! XOXO Erica
These are very interesting flowers/plants! I don’t think I’ve ever seen them before…
