Feel good......
tell me more "goooooood girl". I wanna be bad!
I finally saw this gentian in the field yesterday in northern Indiana. It's considered extirpated in Michigan (historic collection near Niles), but there is an apparent specimen at the Morton Arboretum attributed to Berrien County, collected on August 30, 1992. As many of the plants in Indiana were still in bud yesterday (9/20), I am skeptical the Michigan collection is legitimate.
