Dear Friends,
I got this plant from Panayoti Kelaidis
from the Denver Bot Gard. without a species name
attached. Considering the source it could be ANY
species. I've donated seed to the exchange a
couple of times just as sp..

I suspect it is ramosum, but when I try to key it
out , they all look kind of alike.
Oddly they grow readily from seed, but I
have never had a self sown seedling from the many
MANY seeds dropped in the area.
I like it a lot, but it doesn't seem to
thrill many folks. Right now it is one of the
best blooming plants in the garden. Dozens of
flowers at once and dazzling white in summer sun.
Best Jim W.
