♦LIATRIS (Kansas Gay Feather) 
It grows in long spikes 4 to 5 feet tall and densely 
covered with slender grass-like leaves of a light green. 
The small flowers are light rosy-purple; a peculiar 
habit of the Liatris is that the succession of bloom is 
from the top downward rather than from the lowest 
blooms up to the highest as in all other spike flowers.

and boldest species. Flowers purple in dense spikes,
