tabasco - I've never seen one like that. When I was doing my research on the plant I only found pictures that were like my plant to include the needle like leaves growing out from the tightly bound flower buddings which were all like a cigar shape., and there are no branchings that grow on the same stalk. I'm sure yours is Liatris but which specie I'm not certain. I'll have to go to my local hort. society and runn through there catalog system. Anyway here is a close up pic during mid summer before this Liatris spicata var. spicata blooms and the buds are just forming.
