Good stuff! By the way, there is a similar species (C. gignteum) that has blue flowers like the plant pictured above rather than creme-colored/greenish flowers of C. thalictroides. The ranges differ - C. giganteum having a more northern range. It's actually threatened in Tennessee and has a very sparse range in KY. I'd check it out - -you might have found a county record depending on where you found it! You can check out what I found on that plant on my post (http://ecologyofappalachia.blogspot.com/2011/03/early-bloomers.html?utm_source=BP_recent) Thanks for sharingMike Whittemorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11517146402482565807noreply@blogger.com
