Rick, Thanks for your response. I'll have to look at the center next summer to see what color it is. I have another one that the flower looks very much like the one in the picture that I was allowed to dig out of the ditch because they were redoing the road. It's shorter and the stems are not nearly as heavy. I'm thinking because it was growing wild here that it is probably the L. michiganense. I appreciate your knowledge and your help.
