Can you name these plants?
by naloI've started a new novel. I'm about 4,000 words in. For now, I'm calling it Storm Clouds. And for the opening scene, I need to know the names of some of the flora I've seen down by the lake. I've taken over a hundred photos and I just uploaded four of them to my website. Four is all I have the patience for this morning. Can anyone identify any of the plants in this post? The last one has always looked to me like a flock of tiny purple parakeets on a branch.
I'm not sure but the second photo looks like a clematis.
Hello Nalo,
I think the second picture looks like orchid rockrose flowers or maybe cosmos flowers.
Here are some links to rockrose pictures:

The last picture looks like american hog peanut flowers.
Here's a link to that one so you can compare:

good luck!
I am a fan of your writing, stumbled upon your page, and saw this post. I'm pretty sure the last picture is what my mother always called "purple vetch" a google image search came up with very similar images.
Good luck! I look forward to the new novel!
