  2. Thank you! :-)
    The last one left on the bush, discovered while walking home from the metro. The light was turning blue, dusk falls early now that we are not on summertime anymore.
    You need to pronounce the "P" too,
    P-fffaffen ...
    (I am afraid the name is not politically correct, "Pfaffe" = degorative for "parson", "Kapperl" is a "small cap".)

  3. Such attention to detail - or was it crying out "look at me - I'm the last one left!"?

  4. ELIZABETH,
    I almost missed it. And then it called out and stopped me in my tracks. ;-)

  6. Is there another common name for this? It's not a plant I recognize (Merisi - does it grow in the US?). Pretty!

  8. BRIDGET:
    Interesting that even the French think of a priest's cap when they look at it. ;-) It reminds me of the "Don Camillo e Peppone" stories.

    TLC:
    If my memory does not betray me, I never spotted this plant in the States.

    LORI LYNN:
    I also like the background. I probably didn't cut the best figure while taking the photo, because I had to bend and twist far into the bush to avoid getting the street or parked cars into the picture. ;-)
