It's Wildflower Wednesday sponsored by Gail at Clay and Limestone where she invites bloggers to share stories of wildflowers in our gardens the fourth Wednesday of each month.
For September 2013 I'm featuring purple performers and Rain Lilies in the fall garden.
The much-anticipated Liatris or Gayfeather is blooming this week. Another plant generously shared by Michael at Plano Prairie Garden last year. He's not sure exactly which variety this is so he's listed it as Liatris somethingorother in his plant list. I do know for sure it is a striking color in the fall garden. The plants have begun to spread out in their second year in my garden and look better this year compared to last year when they were newly planted.
