You all are just too wonderful with your comments. It (to me) is SOOO interesting how each person likes such different totems and glass flowers. I came upon just yesterday a Flea Market that I hadn't known about. I'm going to look into it and see if I can get me a vendors spot. Looks like a mix of collectables, jewelry, antiques and other items sold there. Looks like it's once a month Spring though summer, Cash and Carry thing. So that may be my venue to sell these. ... Cait, yes it is wonderful to see native salvias growing in the desert. Today I was able to get out again to that same spot. I came upon a dried up one but it didn't look like there were seeds on it. It's such a beautiful outcropping of them. I have some salvias --about 3 kinds in my gardens that just thrive here. I'm so sorry that Australia does not have any natives there. Do they sell them at the garden centers there? You know the wildflower thing is reltively new to me. Just started about a year ago. Just my Kodak digital that I'm still learning about. I've got such a LONG way to go but it's an adventure. I tell you I take a gazillion more photos than the few that really turn out. I "weed" through the bad ones and dump them. Keep the good ones. Jeanne, you know it's so funny about the ashtrays. One thrift store I got a bunch at and they were so happy that I was depleting them of them. I have to go regularly to find the items though. It's a hit and miss kind of thing. My MIL used some of those to make mushrooms out of! Ok, really i must get to bed. Love y'all! Love, Jules

Personally, I think it is named "Late Boneset" because it is so slow to develop. The first time I found this species, years ago, the plants were already tall in April. I kept checking on them through May, June, July, and they just sat there. They finally flowered in September. Most plants have the good manners to flower, shortly following a growth spurt. E. serotinum seems retarded to me :).

I'm not gonna lie!....I had a wildflower book and I just thumbed through it until I found it!...haha

Thanks, but I just figured it out. It's Zeltnera, probably Zeltnera muehlenbergii.
