This was growing in a Chicago Park on the edge of a pond. This photo was taken in August. Seed heads forming but not mature. Tall plant maybe 3-4 feet high. Seed head a little like wingstem, but leaves and stem different.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
