And a hearty congratulations and thanks to you and people like you who are helping propagate and preserve this rare plant. Plants are rarely "cute and fuzzy" and their babies don't roll around with big eyes, so they often lack proponents and spokespeople to promote their lives. <br /><br />I wonder how many plants have been losthealingmagichandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03785882461027155830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8488599.post-36693853079810933542010-07-19T20:57:06.739-04:002010-07-19T20:57:06.739-04:00What a cutie.Rare too.

Wonder if it will get powdery mildew like a lot of species do.

Most of the goldenrod I've seen blooms in fall, but the goldenrod I ordered this year, Solidago sphacelata ‘Golden Fleece’ (a dwarf), is blooming a little bit right now.<br /><br />Oh!
