Good day! I'm not sure what kind of plant this is, but it's taking over my front yard! If you happen to know, please share the info with us here. Oh, I almost forgot! Today is the last day my article will appear in the Front Page News section at R'osity! If you haven't read it, but wish to - please select the link below; Creating Images That Captivate Audiences And for those who still like more... Yesterday's multi-layered fractal. Friday's silly St. Paddy's Day post. Thanks for looking, I hope you find this day most beautiful, and that you're feeling wondermously fantabulous!

WOW, Troy!!!! This is absolutely gorgeous! Especially with the ice covering it up that way! We (our family) calls these flowers Butterfly Kisses. They attract them. The technical name? No idea darling! Gorgeous colors on this flower! Transplant them to flower beds!!!!!!!

Could aliens, invading front yards, be pink? Hey Troy, I did read your article and I even wrote a comment, but that was (wisely) TOSsed away ;-) Lucky for you LOL! Have a pretty day!!

It is lovely Troy the frost or heavy dew does not help to Identify it but I suspect this may be Slender Bush-clover (Lespedeza virginica) a member of the pea family

OK, the official name of this plant is Purple Deadnettle (Lamium purpureum). Sorry I hadn't the time to research it earlier, but here you have it. Thanks all!

Gorgeous image! If the plant is this pretty, maybe it's a good idea to let it take over the yard, especially if you don't have to mow it!

Lovely capture with the ice crystals. I too have wondered what this flower was because I have a yard full of it as well. I have 2 distinctive types. One is a lot paler in color and prefers shadier spots than the other. The foliage is also slightly different. I have tried several times to capture the beauty of this flower but never with the success you have shown here.
