These are called Devil's paintbrush although I'm not sure what the correct name is.
Around here, despite their lovely look they are considered a pest weed.
They grow everywhere and although they are easy to cut back they reproduce at a regular rate.
No matter....I LIKE them and their bright vivid colour is easy to spot miles away.
I don't often see bees around them so perhaps they don't supply a high quality or volume of nectar or perhaps they do the job later in the year when THEY seem to be the only flowers still blooming.
I like these weeds too. You photographed these blooms beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI fully understand, love these flowers (and your shot) too.

a burst of sunshine for sure!
ReplyDeleteLove the vivid color as long as it isn't in my yard.
ReplyDeleteOrange is one of my favorit colors..and I love the form of these blooms also. I think they're one of the prettier weeds...if you have to give them a label.
