Meadow rue leaves
Meadow rue is a great perennial plant in the flower garden. I believe that its flowers come in yellow and lavender at least; this one is a lavender. The leaves actually look very much like columbine, but this plant gets much taller, maybe 4 or 5 feet (1.5 meters). It’s getting ready to have puffy, hairy sort of flowers, kind of like ageratum. Doesn’t sound pretty, but it is. I’ll show a photo when it’s blooming, which should be in a week or two. I like tall flowering plants as they just feel so abundant, plus of course the flowers are closer to my eye level.

Oftentimes greenery appeals to me just as much as flowers. I love the contrasting greens in this!
It is abundant. Love it!
Nice shadowy shot. Can’t wait to see the blooms. This looks like grape leaves, but then again, I’m no botanist. Good job!
Peace
It has wonderfully shaped leaves, especially with the sunlight showing through them. Lovely image!
