I get Misty

Took a short break to snap this picture. This flower has chosen to adopt us in one of my gardens. The Flower of the DAY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eupatorium coelestinum DESCRIPTION The Mist flower is an attractive late season perennial about 3 feet tall with blue flowers. The Mist Flower is also known as Blue Bonnet or Wild Ageratum. It is in the Eupatorium group along with Boneset and Joe Pye Weed, but it is the only one with blue flowers. The plant prefers full sun but is also found in some of our mountain woods. It is a popular plant for home gardens but can become invasive. The flowers first bloom in August and persist for several weeks. The leaves are opposite and paired and are triangular shaped. Still Painting ;) ALSO ~ "Misty" is a jazz standard written in 1954 by the pianist Erroll Garner. Originally composed as an instrumental following the traditional 32 bar format, the tune later had lyrics . and became the signature song of Sarah Vaughan. It has been covered numerous times, perhaps most notably by Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Mathis (1959), and also by Ray Stevens (1975) as a country song. It was also used as a theme song for NBC's Today Show for most of the 1960s. Misty was the first song played on the air by disk jockey Domenic A. Conti on his debut into radio in 1958. The kicker is Old Blue Eyes singing it as well! [tee hee] “Look at me I'm an helpless as a kitten up a tree and I feel like I'm clinging to a cloud I can't understand I get misty just holding your hand Walk my way and a thousand violins begin to play on it might be the sound of your hello that music I hear I get misty the moment you're near You can say that you're leading me on But it's just what I want you to do don't you notice how hopelessly I'm lost that's why I'm following you On my own would I wonder through this wonderland alone never knowing my right foot from my left my hat from my glove I'm too misty and too much in love You can say... On my own...”
