A trip to a lake today, a man-made lake but it's been there for decades. It's a managed property, there is a bit of woods, reeds at water's edge, but also mown grass not far from the shore. A few wildflowers there, so here is the second I'd like to identify:



This was down right close to the water, in the reeds there. The flower is maybe the size of a nickel in diameter measured (guessed) from outer petal tips.

Meadow Beauty not sure what species.

That does look right: Rhexia virginica: http://www.illinoiswildflowers...

Thanks!

There is also Rhexia mariana that grows in VA. Read that description of the differences at the bottom of the page to be sure of the ID.

Definitely Rhexia, both R. virginica and R. mariana are found in the state of Va.

R. mariana has two-inch flowers of a lighter color, it says -- these flowers were not that pale, and smaller than two inches -- I say "these" but there was only one flower. But I'm still pretty sure it's virginica.
