I got out to the lottie then made my tounds before beginning work. Look what I found.
Do you recognize the plant? I was just so amazed to see this, I thought that you might like it as well.
I will say what it is after you've had a chance to think about it.

It looks a lot like our wildflower Geum rivale, we call it field bumble bee flower, because only the bumble bees are able to pollinate it. Anyhow it looks great!

Droopy and Eileen were correct. The hint was in the right upper-hand corner. There you can see a little flower bud.
The little droplets of water really intrigued me.
It didn't take the dew long to evaporate, so it was a fleeting foto opportunity. I had to lie flat on my tummy to get this pic, as this geum is a low one.
I have only a handfull of these growing in the garden, but I really like the reddish orange ones, and I have more of those.
