Southwest Park, Webster Groves, the suburb where we live. The view is behind where I was for yesterday’s photo of Hawken House. As the years pass, it becomes rarer for us to get this much snow.                     

ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS IS?

We live in a residential area that has little to look at on a walk but other suburban houses. There is a park quite nearby, though. It's got a baseball field and a playground but the rest of it is made up of rolling lawns and groves of trees. No developed walking paths. If I have to get out of the house (and it's getting to me more and more) it is a pretty, quiet place to go.

I never leave home without a camera these days, collecting whatever crosses my path. This plant was in the park. I don't know if we are looking at leaves or flowers but they are visually striking. The normal ground covering where I grew up was asphalt and concrete. Can anyone help identify this plant?
