Friday found Jerry, his mother and I at a native plant sale in Anderson. It was fantastic! I was able to acquire numerous native plants, some of which I was unfamiliar with. Those are the kinds of sales I like to attend.

This sale was put on by a group of nice ladies who were very knowledgeable. We came home with a trunk load of plants. Of course, it rained that day and has been cold or rainy since so I have not managed to get them planted yet. Here is what I bought.

Lobelia siphilitica – Giant Blue Lobelia
Asclepias texana – Texas milkweed
Dalea purpurea – Purple prairie clover
Ageratina altissima ‘Chocolate’ – White snakeroot
Filipendula rubra ‘Venusta’
Silphium laciniatum – Compass plant
Helianthus maximiliani
Asclepias speciosa – Showy milkweed
Asclepias incarnata – Swamp milkweed
Eryngium yuccifolium
Liatris aspera – Tall liatris
Lychnis floscuculi – Ragged robin
Stylophorum diphyllum – Celadine poppy
Oligoneuron rigidum – Stiff goldenrod
