Ray's Thought for the Day - Gaura sinuata rosette

See! Here is yet another basal rosette with purple spots. They're purple, just like that movie. Or maybe not quite that same color purple, but close, maybe. This gaura is a rhizomatous son of a gun. I would not swear to it, but I am fairly certain there is a gaura habitating close to this one, and those twain gauras are connected by a rhizome.
