Meet Baptisia australis - Blue False Indigo.
A member of the pea family it is characterized by large clover-like leaves (up to 3 inch); leaflets wider toward the tips.
Flowers are large (1 inch), dark blue or violet, in erect racemes. Grows to three to five feet tall.
Native to southern Indiana, west Virginia, Pennsylvania south.
This is growing in our yard so it has obviously been introduced.
Can locate the bumble bee?
