Liatris spicata | Floristan Violet | Blazing Star Feather reed Grass This beautiful Aquilegia was actuallyLiatris, commonly known as Gayfeather or Blazing Star, is actually a member of the Aster family. Plants form a low clump of grassy lily like leaves and in midsummer bear tall spikes made up of many tiny pinky purple flowers.
