KentPfeiffer said:Eutrochium purpureum is "supposed" to have whorled leaves with 4 or 5 leaves per node, but in reality there can be anything from 2 to 5. First year plants, in particular, often have just a pair of leaves at each node. These first year plants commonly bloom, even if they only get a foot or so tall.


Thnx... I nwent back to the horse pasture yesterday... spotted this pair of plants, one has opposite leaves, while the other has a 3 leaf whorl.

So... Why isn't this feature easier to find in a google search?

I did eventually find this information at "name that plant dot net" after I knew what name to search... b4 that... nothing.
