Monkshood
Resembling a monk's hook pulled down over his face, this blue-flowered perennial produces valuable color for the fall flower garden.

DMC43 (44 months ago | reply)
Thanks everyone for your kind comments! Yes, this is one more from my garden...almost forgot about this one...the flowers didn't pop until the frost hit. Amazing beauty of a plant considering that everything else in my yard is now dead. Have a great day, I'm off to work and hope to jump back into Flickr tonight when I return home. Hugs and smiles to all! :)
