Annette, you are a fountain of knowledge! I think that it is the Platanthera hookeri (Rein Orchid) -- it fits with the dry area that I found the plants in and the leaves certainly look the same. I hope I can get back to Musgrave Landing in a week or two and find it in bloom. Interestingly, I have found Rattlesnake Orchids and ladyslipper orchids here, and it is supposed to have some Phantom Orchids. I keep looking for the latter but so far no joy. It is listed as one of very few places in BC where they may be found. It is an area of just a few hundred square feet, but is a little rock peninsular that is spectacularly beautiful! Here is a link that might be useful:

I just looked up Erigeron and it sure does look like it . In particular it looks like Erigeron glaucus 'Sea Breeze but these are growing wild in my garden I never planted them !!!! could they have arrived in from bird droppings? Thanks floral_uk Hi Perenn.all no worries , busy here too ! Hope to talk to you soon

Yes, Baptisia. Also known as false indigo. Now that you know what it is, you'll start noticing it more often. That's how it is for me anyway when i learn what something is. It is native and its tap root goes down as much as 10 ft so it is very drought tolerant in Oklahoma but that also means it's not one you can transplant by digging up. When it forms seeds it makes these really cool pods that are hard, brown and rattle when you shake them. The seeds inside are sticky too! If you're interested, you can start them from seeds but it takes years for the plant to establish so it won't bloom for about 3 years. I love native plants so thank you for letting me nerd out too. :) I am jealous of your hummingbirds. I've seen them flit through my yard but they don't stay or visit my feeder. However, they often frequent my MIL feeder less than 1/4 mile away.

Maybe another species? multiflorum? For some reason I cannot direct link to Calscape so you will have to search the species. https://www.anniesannuals.com/plants/view/?id=3362 http://calscape.org/Dichelostemma-multiflorum-()
