Well after I posted the pretty pictures, I got a close look at that first one with all the purple. The one in my HAND. And I saw the curly-q on the blossom. That's a plant we call Scorpion Weed. People generally react to it like Poison Ivy, so I suppose I should carry some Benadryl with me today.
But, I am so proud to have shown you some actual Scorpion Weed!! I've noticed a lot of times people see a purple flower and they automatically assume it's the vile weed that causes so many the rash. Not true, because we have Lantana and other weeds that have the same beautiful purple.
I guess you could say I took one for the team today.
