This is about the time of year it always blooms. That is one of the reasons I love. By this time many of the good nectar plants have finished so the pickings are getting slimmer. There is another type of liatris - rough liatris - that will be starting soon and will carry on after the gay feather has finished. Then the golden rod and fall asters will be kicking in.

It seems that Ma Nature has provided a summer long banquet for her beatuies to feast on. The big problem is that wildflower habitats are being paved over.
