White Wild Indigo Blooming



One of my favorite native wildflowers of the Kansas prairie, White Wild Indigo is the last of my wildflowers to come out of the ground. When it first comes up, it looks similar to a spear of asparagus. These are very long lived plants. From seedling to bloom takes about five years, but it's worth the wait.

OK, good, I'm glad to know that it takes 5 years, because I planted some, but where did it go?

(An unrelated problem - my husband mowed part of the garden by mistake.)
