A must to view large. Great comp showing that one bloom and the repeating pattern from the other heads.

Make your life spectacular!

A splendid design and excellent bloom details - it’s a milkweed species, either common milkweed or swamp milkweed.

Using Google Lens app, it says : Asclepias purpurascens, the purple milkweed.

Well captured and aptly titled!

This is awesome! The colors and symmetry and then the one lone bloom….A definite standout.

Unique framing with the key subject standing out at base ...
Beautifully done, John!

Thanks for the ID Tom and Darren...yes it appears to be a milkweed variety...and a little more research finds that it is a monarch butterfly favourite!

Definitely thinking outside the box with both the perspective and the composition, John! Nicely done and what a lovely colour.
