Lead Plant (Click image to enlarge) |
Lead Plant Amorpha canescens Lead Plant is also known as False Indigo, or Prairie Shoestring. It is a perennial prairie shrub found throughout the tallgrass prairie region. Its many small flowers are arrayed in spikes, and the leaves are divided into numerous leaflets. The lead plant is a member of the Pea Family. I found the individual pictured above in late July at Chiwaukee Prairie, in southeastern Wisconsin. |
