  1. Remember, I am a photographer with an interest in wildflowers. With that in mind, I have absolutely no credibility on matters such as this. However, this is a very hardy plant with roots that can be 20 feet deep. It propagates by seed and each plant can produce 6-8 seeds. I have only seen this one plant. Your guess is as good as mine.

  2. Interesting – Do you think there is danger of it being invasive at May Prairie?
