Who knows....BUT I did spray with seaweed and the others are all fine. And after cutting the nasty pieces away, so is the affected plant.<br /><br />Either way, your beautifully natural garden looks amazing!

Since most of them are affected, it is probably drought, insects, a combination of both or even other factors that I am not aware of that is causing the decline. My little bluestem looks better than it has in the last couple of years so maybe there is some sort of balance at work in my little ecosystem.Michael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-75986231210931211572013-09-19T22:35:49.855-05:002013-09-19T22:35:49.855-05:00It is hard to keep up with some of the Latin names...It is hard to keep up with some of the Latin names anyway because the botanists like to change them.Michael - Plano Prairie Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10288991916201553454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929448677986593408.post-66292357723887912532013-09-19T22:35:39.328-05:002013-09-19T22:35:39.328-05:00Glad your plants are doing well, Randy.

I usually see huge stands of liatris along the roadside and this year there are none. In my own garden they have done quite well. We should get rain today so I am hoping that it will breathe new life into all our native plants, especially the blackfoots. I have no 4 nerve daisies blooming. Yes, fall is usually the peak bloom time but there is still time left.

Every other Echinacea is fine, none of them received any more/less water than the others...it's boggling.

This is the first year for the corms I transplanted last fall. The ones in the beds are healthy, albeit a little floppy in some cases, but heavy with buds, not quite popped yet. stienerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16185632332009295517noreply@blogger.com
