Beautiful flowery plants grow next to the pond at Howell Living History Farm in Mercer County, New Jersey. Can anyone identify these orange or fuchsia wildflowers? Kerry identified the orange ones as jewel weed.

Isn’t this creek welcoming? Three little girls thought so; you can see one in the creek in last week’s post with watercolor effect applied.

Hi Leora - I think the orange flowers are Jewel Weed. The hummingbirds LOVE it around here.
Not sure what those others are.
Beautiful watery scenes!

Beautiful shots. Wish I could help with naming that fuschia colored flower, but I'll just have to enjoy it.

I love looking at plants that grow beside water and you shot some beautiful ones here. I also think the orange plant is jewel weed (I noticed someone else answered that one).
