| Description : | When the flowers are fresher, they've got a purple shading to their top
edges, and they've always got a yellow throat. This specimen is fairly
bushy, but it seems to get by among grass that's mowed. The flowers are
small, less than half an inch.
Thanks to M. K. Ramm for identifying this, since both Peterson's
guide and the Audubon one let me down here. As best I can tell from
the web, there's considerably showier variants that are cultivated,
which may be why I had so much trouble.
