I took this photo at Hilton Park. The flowers look similar to phlox but I believe this is a Sweet Rocket (or Dame’s Rocket). (Please correct me if I’m wrong!)
I love this picture. The purple is so nice. I thought it was Dame’s Rocket too but that seed pod doesn’t look like it. Maybe it is a different specis of Hesperis. Digital Flower´s last post … Three Black and Whites
With just this one image, you have captured the life cycle of this one flower: bud, bloom, seed. The depth of field is delicious as is the clarity.
I have no idea of the name of this flower, but the seed pod looks similar to that of a rambling geranium – not that this be a geranium! Julie´s last post … Federation style
A beautifully composed photo of the most spectacular little flower, love that color also. Thanks for sharing and for visiting my blog and leaving a lovely comment. Have a great week. Denise´s last post … TODAY’S FLOWERS – ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY

I’ve never heard of Sweet Rocket, but it reminded me of Sweet William (though the color isn’t quite right). It’s beautiful no matter what it’s called.
