Monkey Musk

I'm sure this will have another name but Monkey Musk is the name I grew up knowing it by. It is growing in the sides of the little beck that runs through the village. Looks best on black.

They are lovely.

They are so pretty - love that bright red and yellow. They must stand out where they grow. Seem to remember seeing them as a child and calling them monkey flowers but I have no idea why.

Lovely. I recently tried to photograph yellow flowers and it was a disaster. This looks wonderful.

@evilsockmonkey I have trouble with yellow flowers too! always blurry! and show no detail :(.

[Milanie]

Really like the color combination - looks like the red was just splashed on the yellow petals. Very pretty.
