Lorn,

I can provide pollen from the wild as I don't have any flowering in my yard yet. Lots of seed started from crossing different populations in the wild. Would love to get wider crosses from pollen from Wisconsin vs. 20 miles down the road especially with the different forms like the red. Also interested in the lighter colored forms. In the past I found some really light - almost shading to yellow but the area they were growing was turned into a hay field and I have not seen this form in several years. Here are some of the better/larger stems I found in 2015. I find it growing in smaller groups in my area - generally in road ditches on the North side of East/West running roads.

I did find an up-facing single bloom stem one year - it produced OP seed and I had sent some of that into the seed exchange.
