Purple Fireworks

I've been calling this plant Purple Fireworks for years. Its real name, Thalictrum aquilegifolium, didn't always readily come to mind. I may remember it better now as I learned today that the word thalictrum is related to the Greek word that means abundance or good cheer. So, I am wishing you all thalictrum ...

Many thanks for dropping by.
I love this shot! The purple just pops! You are right it is like fireworks.
