This plant blooms prolifically in the summer. A tea may be made from the leaves.

You've really captured some beautiful detail, here. Great DOF ... that softened green background is the perfect backdrop for this beautiful dollop of pink.

A brilliant close up of this beautiful flower, is this the same plant that produces bergamot oil?

@MaryB: That's a very good question, Mary. There is also a citrus that is called bergamot... I think that is where the oil is obtained. I "lifted" this from a web site -- Its aromatic smell, reminiscent of the bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia), gives bergamot its name. (http://www.herbs2000.com/herbs/herbs_oswego_tea.htm)
Another superb composition Earnest. You captured the light so well!
