Dane's blood, Campanula glomerata
Dane's blood is also called clustered bellflower. It represents a clutch of bellflower species that turn up in our gardens. This may be one of the more frequently planted of the bunch, and like the others it tends to wander off into fields and woods. Dane's blood has been collected from the wild in AK, CO, ID, IL, MA, ME, MI, MN, MT, ND, NH, NY, PA, UT, VT, WA, WI, MB, NS, ON, and QC. Beal Garden, MSU, 6/28/19. Bellflower family, Campanulaceae.

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?
