Wow! That is very interesting! I've never seen anything like it...will have to see if I can find it in my wildflower book!

I think this is flower of grass!

I guess!

I don't know what it is and I don't think I've ever noticed it before. It's growing in the ditch in front of my house. We have so many weeds that have sticky seeds, every time I go out I come back covered in something!

Thanks everyone!

so funny!

Beautiful image you captured of this flower, Lois. It is from the Orchid family and is called lacelip lady's tresses. A very fitting name I believe.

WOW!!! Thanks Cynthia, I'll put that name on it! You're right, very fitting!
