    A wonderful plant! It seems to appear here and there all over North America whenever I'm traveling, and it's one of those native plants that is often included in public gardens and arboretums. The flower is so pretty, and I love the foliage.

    Oh! I've seen that in Florida but did not know its name ... I ought to buy a wildflower book (or I could just come here and look at your beautiful pictures and learn!). Thank you.
