I thought it was growing twisted! LOL! It's just the way the buds are lined up. This is a common wildflower known as "Ladies Tresses." As to which variety of ladies tresses... There are seven (7) possibilities that live and grow in the midlands of South Carolina. I haven't done all my reading up on them yet.
@swguevin These are so small, Sheila! I would not have noticed it had it not been the tiny white flowers sticking out of the dark shade. Thank you for your lovely comments!
@vickisfotos Today was my first day to notice them, too! LOL! They are so small! Thank you, Vicki! Appreciate your comments and always enjoy your visit!
This is beautiful in its simplicity. Pretty green and white. And I want to say thank you for your wonderful comment, pin, and fav on my "evening time" photo. It is much appreciated.
As my grandson says when he sees something he likes, "Sweeeet"!! It does have a twisted look. Fantastic bokeh to add to the beauty and makes the flower stand out!!
