Thanks Luis! We were surprised at the pattern of the gills on the underside. Very pretty!

Brian, no. I've not been able to catch it in flower unfortunately. I'll have to go out and see if there's any fruit on it.

Slender Dayflower commented on by hope.martin Missouri, USA10 years ago

drP, now that you point it out. I think it looks more like C. communis. The darker coloration in the center of the sterile anthers (C. erecta seems to be solid yellow)... the single small white petal (C. erecta seems to have 2 there)... at least according to the photos I'm seeing online.

I'll have to add some better pictures soon!
