Question
Hello, found this while planting lupines into a restoration site in Barrington, RI. Looking to confirm that I photographed forked bluecurls (Trichostema dichtomum). Site is dry and sandy. Lots of sweet fern, bayberry, and round-headed bush clover in the area. Thanks.
Answer
Dear sldz22, good morning to you. Yes, you have photographed Trichostema dichotomum. The prominently arched stamens are a good clue to this genus, along with the open inflorescence that is very unlike other mints. Best wishes.
