More Wild Flowers

Blue Vervain - Verbena hastata.

Verbena - Latin for sacred plant - harks back to a long time ago when this plant was thought to have healing properties.  Bugs like it because it produces large quantities of nectar.

It's growning here because I nuked all the reed canary grass that had previously infested this area.

All it needed was a chance.
