One in Adelphi, Maryland, one in Wildwood, Florida, one at the US National Arboretum with a grandfatherly interest in many more around the DC area (unless noted, pictures are taken the day of post)

Baptisia australis, Blue False Indigo
I love these plants in the Fern Valley Meadow. They flower every year, come drought, flood, herbicide or whatever, a beautiful testimony to the hardiness and longevity of this native perennial.
So nice! Ugh. I have come to the conclusion I have to move mine. A garden purchase I made before I understood what I was doing. It is in a shaded, moist area, blocking views of more appropriate plants due to a height mismatch and, once again, not blooming. Horrible!
I have considered just cutting it down and buying another good one because prices aren't bad. What a waste.
