This is a native plant that has eluded me for quite some time. I am trying it again for the third time and hope this time I get lucky. Standing Cypress; Ipomopsis rubra. Have any of you had success with it? This plant is spectacular when in bloom, it can get to be as tall as 6 feet, and it is a biennial. They tell me that in some areas, it grows wild and it is quite a sight, but I have never seen it in the wild. Seedling 3-25-05.
