The Meadow Blazing Star/Ligulistylis certainly does have a distinctively different and unique appearance from the few I've seen.

Sure appreciate the 'heads up' .. tabasco!

Will also hafta check out some of those other beauties that you and others, have mentioned here.

tgif ..
We've noticed some 'wild' liatris growing nearby here, also! Spotted a relatively large and beautifully breath-taking patch in full-bloom, the other day .. just south of us along the highway right-of-way. Hopefully, the state hasn't come along already and whacked them all down yet - and we can return to harvest a bunch of it and transplant it to our newly widened side yard. (will ya keep yer fangers crossed fer us, guys?!?)

tabasco ..
I have some 'thoughts' to share, altho' I'm afraid that it's not directly associated to the flutterbyes nor the Liatris ligulistylis you've mentioned. (hee) But, did want to remind you guys, that the hummers sure like making their visits to the Liatris also.
I's gots 'pwuuf'! .. LOL ..
