Blunleaf
Sandwort
(FAC) is a
native
perennial
occurring
from New
England,
south to
Maryland.
The plant
occurs in
damp
old-fields
and/or open
woods.
From a
distance
this plant
looked like
baby's
breath or
forget-me-not.
It was
growing in
wet meadows
along with
goldenrod
and really
stood
out with its
sprays
of dainty
white
flowers.
As I read
about the
plant it has
apparently
been picked
for summer
bouquets, to
near
extirpation.
