American Columbo (Frasera caroliniensis)

A good growth of American Columbo (Frasera caroliniensis) is at Clegg Garden, at the gravel hill prairie.  The American Columbo grows here in association with the shooting-star (Dodecatheon meadia), which was featured in the previous post.  A couple dozen basal rosettes of American Columbo could be found here.  Several plants have started growth of the flowering stalk.

Here is one plant growing a flowering stalk.
