The plant is 15–90 cm (6–35 in) tall. The fern-like leaves are lobed and grouped in threes, growing from the base and off the flowering stems. The flowers are 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) long and have yellow petals with a red spur and red sepals. They appear in late spring (usually in May and June), nodding on stems above the leaves.
The plants produce several stems from a creeping underground rhizome; some stems bear a single leaf and do not produce any flower or fruit, while flowering stems produce a pair or more leaves with 1–8 flowers in the axil between the apical leaves. The flowers are white, yellow or red, 2–6 cm (1–2 in) diameter with 6–9 petals, and mature ...
The stem leaves are arranged in a spiral (although the upper cauline ones are often opposite and sometimes in whorls of 3), with an inflated, purple-striped, fleshy petiole that has papery margins towards the base. The compound leaves are broadly diamond-shaped, 2- or 3-times ternately (sometimes pinnately) divided.
Panicled aster grows from a rhizome and has a thick, erect stem that can reach 1.5 meters (5 feet) tall or more, sometimes approaching 2 m (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft). The leaves are generally hairless but may feel slightly rough to the touch on the top because of tiny bristles. The leaf blades have winged petioles and may sheath the stem at their bases ...
Ipomopsis aggregata has characteristic red, trumpet-shaped flowers and basal leaves stemming from a single erect stem. Depending on elevation, height can range from 30 centimetres (12 inches) in Rocky Mountain alpine areas, to over 1.5 metres (5 feet) in areas of southern Texas. Trumpet flowers can range from white, red, orange-red, and pink. [1]
Flower head Leaves. This plant is a taprooted perennial herb producing rough-haired stems usually one to three meters tall. The leaves are variable in shape and size, being 4 to 60 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 to 23 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long and 1 to 30 cm (1 ⁄ 2 to 11 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) wide. They are hairy, smooth-edged or toothed, and borne on petioles or not.
Key identification features include a dark, wiry, blue or purple stem, and flower heads in the leaf axils instead of in a large array at the top of the plant. [3] Prefers medium to part shade, and can often be found in wooded areas.
These leaves can reach a length of 5 inches (13 cm). Both the leaves of the rosette and the leaves of the flowering stem are dark green in color and glabrous (hairless). [8] The flowers are produced during the second year of growth on a loose raceme. Each flower is attached individually to the flowering stem by a pedicel. Each pedicel typically ...
