I wonder if it is some kind of milkweed? does it get monarch butterflies/catterpillars on it?

 

[Lammie]

I have them outside the barn. Are they hollow in the middle?

yes.

 

[Hippie Rancher]

I am so curious now what that is so I posted on another board about it. One person asked if it might be some kind of poke? (I don't know that plant either but know the song - heh)

Another person said try e-mailing this guy: http://www.walterreeves.com/

Dun told someone on the boards what it was. The reason I asked if it was hollow is because they will freeze all up inside in winter. It isn't poke salad. (or however you spell it)

Dun! Where are you???

i might take that back. i'm not sure if they are hollow or not. i was thinking yes, but then i looked at it today and some of them have woody type stalks from a couple of winters that are still about 8 feet high. they seem to spread underground as well as i by seed and come up each year from the root. i'm not 100% sure that they have hollow stalks.

Wasn't me. But they are purdy flowers.

Are you sure it wasn't you??? I am very seldom wrong, you know... :shock:

Eastern Wahoo? I couldn't have made up a better name than that.

I ain't in the growing range, though. No one told that to my Wahoos, I guess.

So, this is like, a quiz? What do I get if I win?

 

[Hippie Rancher]
