Update on a recent unknown flower/plant email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. webeishere (11173)   ranked 1 out of 337 in flowers5 months ago

A month ago I started a discussion about this plant when it was maybe 6 inches tall. It is now about 3 feet tall with white stringly like flowers all over it. I have seen a lot of these in my biking around in white, pink, blue, and purple. I think I recall someone mentioning what they had though it was and it seemed they said it looked like this. Can anyone help me identifying this plant/flower? Do you have flowers etc in your yard that you have no idea what it is?
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB!!~

I think, and am pretty sure, that it is a plant called Liatris. Also known as a blazing star. I have never grown them, but I see them around a lot. I did a google search for the images, I really had only seen them in pale pink and white.


myLot reputation of 95/100. fluffnflowers (1368)   ranked 26 out of 337 in flowers  5 months ago

I agree with GardenGerty. I've got them in pink, purple, and bought some white. They're really great plants and I love mine! I'd also love to get my hands on some of your white, since the white ones I purchased turned out purple! lol


myLot reputation of 97/100. webeishere (11173)   ranked 1 out of 337 in flowers  5 months ago

Okay. I use www.ask.com
I searched and found out this variety is called Prairie Blazing Star. Thanks bunches. I don't have the slightest clue on how to start a search without knowing the basic name of a plant etc. You're great at this and I truely and deeply appreciate this fully.

I am not sure why I know so many plant names, except that my interest started as a child. My mom and grandmas on both sides grew lots of plants, and I read lots of garden magazines. They are a great resource as well. I have seen books that you can look at and say something like "white spikes, 3 feet tall." and it will give you a list and you take it from there.

Thank you Grandpa Bob, and have a great evening. I think I am off to slumberland early. Excited for a new day tomorrow.

I have no idea what sort of plant it is, Grandpa Bob.

Nor do I know what 98 percent of any plant I see is whereever I go. I do know most the trees in these parts, though.

myLot reputation of 96/100. Transdisc (16616)   ranked 103 out of 337 in flowers  5 months ago

Why am I not surprised to hear that weed grows in your backyard, Loud?


myLot reputation of 66/100. LoudnProud (4875)   ranked 50 out of 337 in flowers  5 months ago

I looked up liatris and the blooms I saw were all feathery and these in your plant are not feathery but the picture of astilbe that I saw looked more like your plant. not sure but could be.


myLot reputation of 97/100. webeishere (11173)   ranked 1 out of 337 in flowers  5 months ago

It is actually called Prairie Blazing Star. I have lots of Astillibes.
Here's a shot of one of my Astillibes. Thanks bunches though.

Boy, that sure does look like liatris. Compare the stalks and flowers to the pictures that I found on this page: http://www.fotosearch.com...


myLot reputation of 97/100. webeishere (11173)   ranked 1 out of 337 in flowers  5 months ago

Liatris is the Latin name for this species of plant.
This is a shot of the exact one I have in my yard. Check it out.

It's called Prairie Blazing Star.
Does appear to belong to the Liatris family.

If my mother in law was here she could answer your question, I think she knows every flower there is, even wild flowers. She's a flower child herself, meaning that she loves flowers and if she was here, she would have them everywhere. She likes doing landscaping work too, but she's in Africa, and she's always telling me what new flower they planted in her yard and how she's has her yard all fixed up. I have some flowers here too, wild ones, I don't know what they are either, they're pretty a purple color.
