lilacbell, Ipomoea turbinata
As you go south one of the things you can look forward to are morning-glories. There are many more of them, individually and as species. Lilacbells are among those. They have travelled north from their home in South America to meet us. Lilacbells most likely arrived to adorn our flower gardens, and has been seen wild in AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, NC, SC, TX, and VA. Monroe Co FL, 3/21/16. Bindweed family, Convolvulaceae.

Hi Denise
Just thinking it's almost time to come look for Platanthera flava. Bob
Hi Bob:
I found it on Eber Rd, about 1.5 mi S. of Kitty Todd Preserve 1/4 mi from Metroparks land. I’m guessing it came in on the RR. (NwOhio)
Apparently so, but not on all plants. The brown only shows a little in this image.
Regarding umber pussytoes, one reference calls it brown-brackted pussytoes. Are it's bracts browner than other pussytoes?
