Re: unknown bearded

 

When I see things like that I generally assume I am looking at one of those pallida x variegata offspring which are collectively referred to as "Sambucina." Lots of them received cultivar names in the nineteenth century, or early twentieth, and some got several names. The same sort of thing could arise from bee crosses of the earlier diploids, I guess.  
 
Here's "Sambucina" from Curtis's.

Anyone know what this might be? I collected it as an escapee in the
middle of nowhere in northern Michigan where it was unable to flower
in pure sand. The largest stalk is 41" high with 3 branches and 8
buds. The flower is only 3.5".
