Dolores and I were on or way to have lunch at Longwood Gardens when this interesting plant attracted my attention.  At the time, I did not know the name of the plant an later received help from a Facebook group to identify this as Sweet Pepperbush, Clethra alnifolia. 

When you have your camera in hand, an interesting photograph my also become a learning experience.

Would you have known the name of this plant?

Good morning Roy Kelley ,

This flowering beauty is a new one to me! I' like Gabe Sanders , I'm not sure I have ever seen one before.

That image almost looks like a giant caterpillar rather than a blossom, Roy!  Nature duplicates itself in interesting ways.

Thanks for your kind words. There is no photo book in my plans. I wish I knew how to make my photographs worth something that would enable contributions to charity.
