Dotted Blazing Star (Liatris punctata)

Were you a late bloomer? Nothing to be embarrassed about, this episode's flower Dotted Blazing Star is a late bloomer too! If you find yourself wandering the prairie in the fall you're likely to stumble upon this flower, and if you're anything like this week's pollinator the Bleeding Flower Moth, you'll be drawn to this bright purple flower too. Join Kelsey and Tenea in learning about this unique member of the asteraceae family.
