Lots of my #liatris #perennial #plants are bursting with many new flower buds. It's aka #gayfeather & #BlazingStar ๐ธ
Flower moth larvae love using this plant as food. Pollinators adore their bright pink bottle brush flowers; which bloom from distinct 2-4' tall spike stalks.

The spiked blazing star also known as the gayfeather. Found in marshy prairies and meadows in the eastern United States. It blooms from the top down and it's often found in clusters.
