Liatris "Eureka" picture heavy

Summer is in full bloom and my backyard is a butterfly and moth haven, along with hundreds of other insects. I have about 15 of these plants now, this is the second year for these, lovely flowers that bloom from the top down.

Peace

I had intended to plant some this year but it was really hard to get any plants of any kind - the garden centers didn't have much selection. There are a couple of places that sell native plants online and I'll check there, probably next spring.
