Joe Pye Weed

Have you seen all the Joe Pye weed growing?  It is all up and down Mocassin Creek Rd, 19/129, and the 4-lane into Murphy.  We love seeing it all along the roadsides.
 
It grows about 6-8 feet tall, and has the most beautiful flower heads.  They are huge and pink.  And you can spot them at 45 miles per hour.  
 
Another common name for Joe Pye weed is Queen of the Meadow.  Now that paints a pretty picture.
 
I hope you see some in your travels. 
 
HAPPY GARDENING!!!

I wonder why the most commonly used name is Joe Pye Weed. Queen of the Meadow sounds so much more elegant and seems lots more fitting for a beautiful roadside attraction. Thanks for all the wonderful late-summer pictures. They're great, as usual.
