Can you imagine anything as beautiful as this being called a "weed?"  Me too.  Some people call it Queen of the Meadow.

 

We always love seeing Joe Pye "weed" blooming all over town,  all along the side of the road.  We haven't seen any in the neighborhood lately, but they are all along the road to Murphy and Blairsville.  

 

Joe Pye weed is tall:  about 6-8 feet, and when it blooms, this beautiful pink crown tops the plants.  I hope you notice them in your travels.

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
