Pretty wossnames.
Dames Violet? Pretty whatever it is.
No idea. The flowers are small, but the plants grow quite tall.
My book describes it as medium to tall, hairy, with toothed lanceolate short stalked leaves., flowers 15-20mm very fragrant. But in my experience you do have to take these things as a guideline, plants are so much more variable in their growth than birds or animals. At first glance I thought it might be Honesty, but I guess you’d know if you had that, the seed heads are so distinctive.
Huh, that’s a definite match, thank you! They are very invasive, and damn near impossible to get rid of -- it seems that a number of states have a legal status on them, defining them as a noxious weed.
Love the tiny visitor in the first shot. :)
That was a surprise, never saw them until I was going through the photos.
Mm-mmmm! I love flowers that do this, the scent is usually particularly lovely and light.
And yes, cute little visitor!
