[dense blazing star - Wild left, garden right, settings]

 Dense Blazing Star, et al 

"Liatris spicata" 
"dense blazing star" 
"prairie feather" 
"gayfeather" or
"button snakewort"

What is in a name 
No matter what's said 
I'd recognize you 
by your blazing heads 

You're "a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. It is native to eastern North America"

    How nice to bring this blazing beauty into a quadrille. I wasn't aware of it's name, but have seen them. Would love to plant some if my yard wasn't so shady.

    I like how the two stanzas work together.

    I can see why that color would catch your eye and set your heart ablaze. Nicely done.

    I enjoyed your tribute to an amazing flower, Jim. I'd like some of those in our wild garden - they leap out at you in shape and colour.

    These lovely flowers remind me of the baby-bottle brushes way back in the 60s! Cheers.

    I'm glad to see your blazing flower, in both pictures and words! It was very nice to spend April with you.

    Thank you, Rosemary. You are one of my mentors. I didn't mention names in my NaPoWriMo cudo because I was afraid I would leave someone left out.
