Re: Baptisia leucophaea, now known as B. bracteata

Donna-What you have is Cream Wild Indigo, which is Baptisa leucophaea, now
bracteata,  we have lots of it and have seen it at all stages.  It is a
wonderful plant and when it goes old enough flowers right at this time of
year.  They are blooming here in good numbers, with racemes of soft yellow
flowers.
