154/365: dame's rocket
Wild dame's rocket is in bloom right now. It's one of my favorite wild flowers to look at, despite being among the invasive species in the area. It's actually prohibited in Massachusetts, the border of which is just a few miles from here.
(This would have worked as orchid for the sixty-four colors group -- so many orchid choices!)

Very pretty, brilliant focus on that second flower.

I've never heard that name for it before. Much prettier than phlox! (And yes, I love it too. I wish our yard had more of it.)

Thank you!
Phlox is actually different. It has five petals and comes out later in the year. A lot of people confuse the two (I confuse them myself so I made sure to look this up before posting).

what a great name for a flower! very beautiful image and you're right, you'd have been spot-on for orchid!
the weathered green wood makes a wonderful backdrop for these tender little blossoms.

I love how some of the flowers aren't in focus in the foreground and then you have one in focus and the others aren't! Great photo! :D
