I am honored to have such a beautiful plant as a companion no matter what its name is or it’s possibly sordid past. It does feel weird, though, to have a plant you waited a year for it to flower only to find it was incorrectly labeled. I am no newbie when it comes to changing plant names because I have done it for many years as scientific names change. SO, I had to change all captions on this page as well as in the folders on my computer and re-write the entire page. This plant was NOT a Baptisia ‘Lunar Eclipse’. I originally wrote this page for Baptisia ‘Lunar Eclipse’, taking many photos, writing captions, and adding them to this page only to find out later the plant was incorrectly labeled. The label said it was also a ‘Lunar Eclipse’. SO, I settled for one of the smaller plants that wasn’t flowering yet. There were several larger pots of Baptisia ‘Lunar Eclipse’ that were flowering but they were a bit pricy. I brought this plant home from the Green Street Market in Clinton, Missouri in the spring of 2017. Those numbers could change as updates are made on POWO.
