The common name of Chelone obliqua is in Finnish Konnanyrtti.
KONNA translates into English as villain or turtle. I took the liberty to think it as Villain’s Herb :)
Of course she is no villain or bad ass, instead a pretty and easy late autumn bloomer.
...
In English: Red, Pink or Rose turtlehead.
Auf Deutsch Schiefe Schildblume, Miesmäulchen oder Schlangenkopf.
...
Finnish saying has it: A beloved child has many names!
Chelone obliqua has a funny way of blooming. This is how it starts...
... and this is how it continues - building a long snake like stem.
I have a white variety, too but it is very weak.

Chelone obliqua is pretty in late summer bouquets, too.
Wishing you a happy weekend!
Wonderful photos. Beautiful colors.

Hola Riitta.
VastaaPoistaGracias por proporcionar estos momentos de buena disposición con su resumen del libro de Joel Willans.
Para mí no hay pueblos extraños, apenas diferentes porque el medio en que vivimos es que nos hace.
Los finlandeses son un pueblo admirable por su progreso,
por su cultura y tradiciones, a pesar de las adversidades del clima que tienen que enfrentar.
Excelentes fotos de esas hermosas flores.
Felicitaciones y buen fin de semana
Manuel
