Blue Vervain
On the way out the fairgrounds a week ago I noticed a wildflower that I did not recognize.
My field guide to wildflowers says that it is blue vervain, or Verbena hastata, and it is apparently fairly common.
Below is a closer look at the flower spikes.
The leaves are rather glossy rough.
After I took these pictures I found a much bigger population of this flower in the ditch east of the high school. It is plant the likes water.

Beautiful. Have you seen the prairie area growing in front of a home on CR 1000 W just south of the river? It is lush and lovely too.
