Lythrum
I have a hard time believing this is the outlawed loosestrife. Do I have the wrong name? I haven't seen the loosestrife banned in Colorado for sure. I love this flower and it hasn't gone crazy here; it hasn't reseeded and therefore makes me doubt my classification. I'd love to know! I don't have the original tag from the plant.
