"Even in a small space you can mimic a magical flowering
woodland with stepping stones and a variety of wildflowers."
Quote by _Constance
Willow Amsonia (Blue-Dogbane) is a wildflower_
In sun with some shade it will flourish, the
lush green fountain-like foliage so pretty, it
looks great as a background plant in a garden.
Oh, the flower clusters are dainty and divine,
with sweet blueish-purple blooms like stars !
And bushy clumps could be yours in a few years, wild in
meadows, just growing happy and free, and also
so delightful in marshes where the soil is wet, delightful
on Fall days when the foliage turns a sublime yellow. They are
never, ever, never bothered by insects of any kind,
in Spring they bloom- remove the withered ones for more blooms_
A lovely addition to any wildflower garden, in my opinion !

As the lilacs swayed in the summer breeze
a monarch floated by with fluttering ease
he landed quite softly with a regal kiss
the lilacs were now in a crown of bliss
He then went over to the red clover
joined by a swallowtail, emerald all over
a gossamer winged had its eye on the dogbane
where a tiger swallowtail had laid it's claim
Then an orange giant skipper alit on the milkweed
probably to lay eggs as this was it's need
Another monarch sailed by me, close to my lips
I guess I was in the path of its trail of kisses
