Thank you! :-) The last one left on the bush, discovered while walking home from the metro. The light was turning blue, dusk falls early now that we are not on summertime anymore. You need to pronounce the "P" too, P-fffaffen ... (I am afraid the name is not politically correct, "Pfaffe" = degorative for "parson", "Kapperl" is a "small cap".)
In France,it is" priest's cap " ou fusain d'Europe they give wonderful autumn bouquets, pink initially then it turns out with a funny orange,very pop as in your photo!
BRIDGET: Interesting that even the French think of a priest's cap when they look at it. ;-) It reminds me of the "Don Camillo e Peppone" stories.
TLC: If my memory does not betray me, I never spotted this plant in the States.
LORI LYNN: I also like the background. I probably didn't cut the best figure while taking the photo, because I had to bend and twist far into the bush to avoid getting the street or parked cars into the picture. ;-)

Such attention to detail - or was it crying out "look at me - I'm the last one left!"?
ReplyDeleteELIZABETH,
ReplyDeleteI almost missed it. And then it called out and stopped me in my tracks. ;-)
Delightful. So lovely.
ReplyDeleteLooks like pink popcorn!

ReplyDeleteIs there another common name for this? It's not a plant I recognize (Merisi - does it grow in the US?). Pretty!
ReplyDeleteI especially like your focus of the flower and background. Just terrific!
