    Found this beauty on an old gas line in foothills close to mountains near central west Alberta. It has candycane colored flowers. The leave shape is near the bottom of the picture. I would like to know the common name as well as the real name.
    Thanks Goose

    Thanks - - That's it. The colors on this plant are fantastic and I've only seen it growing in this one place. Thanks again for your help.

    Thanks for sharing this one - I agree, it is a beauty. Too bad it is a weedy introduction into North America.
