This is a bloom from a tall and gangly weed that grows all around the hedgerows and borders of the woods here in Southeastern Pennsylvania. It's called Jewel Weed and the little flowers on this plant fill with water when it rains gently. Can you see I surprised a tiny bee inside?

I see them alot around here, too, but you have made this one look SO beautiful! the color and lighting are exquisite!
That's a weekd? quite a pretty weed. Excellent capture.
From this gorgeous pose, I would never suspect that this is actually "a tall and gangly weed". Fascinating details!
