6-26 Monkey Flower, Butter-and-eggs, Smooth Winterberry

 6-26

The flowers of Monkey Flower supposedly bear  a resemblance to the face of a monkey. Look for them in wet places.

Roadsides and waste places are home to the alien (occasionally cultivated) Butter-and-eggs.

Smooth Winterberry - a late bloomer in the holly family that will hold its bright red berries long into the winter - graces wooded swamps.
