Native to eastern North America. The bees and butterflies appreciated it in our garden. But the forest behind us now shades us so much we don't grow this particular variety any longer. I miss it.

I love the many forms of grass flowers and seed heads. They create every-changing natural paintings which invite close inspection and appreciation. Here, the brightly lit grasses in the background were waving energetically in the wind, leaving the silhouetted ones in the foreground to show off their form.
