Another shrub not particularly well known but a great one to add color in the fall. Lespedeza is a genus of some 40 species of flowering plants in the pea family, commonly known as bush clovers or Japanese clovers. It is native to warm temperate to subtropical regions of eastern North America, eastern and southern Asia and Australia. The flowers did slightly resemble their distant relative, sweet peas, which have become rather uncommon these days.

We have a lot of Lespedeza in the pastures of Missouri, Kathy. I don't think it is this variety. Some folks call it Japanese Clover.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I have not seen or heard of this flower before Kathy. A nice capture with good clarity and colour tones.
