It lives!!!!

Liatris mucronata from home!! This is its first year, so I expect it will be big and showy next year. For now, I’m just happy it’s alive.

Frostweed

It’s about to bloom! I saw some in the wild today at Lexington WMA and it was finishing blooming. It was by a wash so perhaps got more water.
