Weeds in vacant lot

[Grampa Don]

Every time I turn around, I see something I need to photograph. This was taken just as the sun was going down.

I have no idea what these are.

I think they are wild roses, Don. Very pretty.

I think you're correct.

Yes wild roses. Alberta. Wild rose country.

Yes I agree, pretty picture, Don...

They grow here in CT (northeast coast) too,especially along the shore areas. I'm inland but had one in our woods growing over the neighbor's corral fence.

An update on my flowers: I was curious about wild roses and looked them up. I noticed that they have 5 petals and my flowers have only 4. So, starting with "pink flowers with 4 petals" I did some research. Eventually, I found that they are actually a native California wildflower called Clarkia. There are many varieties and they come in many colors and patterns. They sure look like wild roses, but they aren't.

Thank you for your inputs.
