No Mow May 9...

Gamochaeta purpurea - commonly known as Spoonleaf Purple Everlasting or Purple Cudweed. I don't know why. There isn't anything purple about it! More info here - http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=2570

Great capture. I did have to mow the back yard otherwise poor Chutney the Dachshund would get lost in the tall grass with his short little legs.

[Corinne C]

Wonderful close up. Maybe the purple comes later on?

[Mags]

@phil_howcroft LOL! That it is. =)

@larrysphotos I understand Larry. Thank you!

@corinnec Thanks, Corinne. Nope. LOL!

This is really nice, so unusual to me! I love the mystery of how certain plants got their names.

[Kerry McCarthy]

Beautiful capture, it is sharp and has soft bokeh.

Nice capture, but I don’t see anything purple either. Cudweed might fit though.
