New York ironweed (I bought 3 plugs, but gave one to a friend who was at the meeting (the reason for the trip that allowed me to drive out to the nursery), wingstem (full grown and in flower), and mountain mint...then I spotted something that I thought Jeff would like: Wild Sensitive Plant Chamaecrista nictitans (Cassia nictitans) --an annual (Jeff really likes sensitive plant, and we have one growing as a houseplant. The wild one isn't nearly as sensitive.)

I think I've seen that ironweed before...Nice variety of colors you have going.
Aren't you afraid that mint will go out of control on you? Rhizomes scare me. The Chamaecrista nictitans (Cassia nictitans).......... Lots of detail in that one!

![]() So far, I put cup plant, ironweed, culver's root, wild senna, and the wingstem in one spot along with big bluestem where I already have some various asters--several white and some New England aster. So, I'm hoping it will fill in nicely at the base of a slope and not be overwhelming in height. I think it is the perfect spot for them all. Quote:

" Rhizomes scare me."~~Havalotta
I heard that 'Rhizomaphobia' begins during childhood, occurs occasionally with girls that at one time or another had mistaken Rhinestones for Diamonds. If left untreated it can afflict for life, the old time remedy was to cultivate some iris, geranium maculatum, and of course some mountain mint! ![]() Way2Go Bulucanagria & Havalotta for the best photographs in the contest! ww

Sorry about that. I just noticed I had sent in the copies of the pair previous to correcting the spelling.
