Isn't "heal-all" a terrific name! According to one fieldguide, heal-all is an introduced flower (a member of the mint flamily) and used in various herbal cures. The pyramidal flower base is rather small, perhaps a half inch or so in diameter.
I first began noticing them in the early summer, but a few plants are still blooming.

I cannot help but feel that I should know the name of this flower: the cluster of star-shaped petals is only about a half inch in diameter.
These star-shaped flower clusters were among the earlier ones of spring, and then they disappeared. In the beginning of autumn, this cluster appeared and opened and was duly photographed.

By the middle of September, the beautiful displays of tiger lilies had ended, but a few buds remain, and one by one, into October, single flowers display beautifully, particularly after a light rain.
Photography note: The photos were taken with a digital Sony F707 and a variety of closeup filters.
