California loosestrife

You probably don’t remember seeing some California loosestrife, Lythrum californicum, that was in a wildflower meadow on the Blackland Prairie on May 28th. Here, finally, is a closer look at some of those flowers from a part of the Blackland Prairie a few miles further south on July 29th. As a bonus you get the color of a bluebell, Eustoma exaltatum, that was beyond the loosestrife.
