Another Beauty

I found this at Bryan Farms. Bryan Farms is a thousand-plus acre family farm in nearby West Point. Most of it is cattle pasture, but also some cotten and corn. In the field margins are a few hundred acres of prairie habitat. This was found on a north facing hillside. It is Polemonium reptans, or Greek Valerian. It is not actually a valerian. It is the same genus as Polemonium van-bruntiae, Jacob's Ladder. This is the only one we found. I can't get close in with my camera, but it has both deep violet and indigo blue flower petals. It was a tricky ID because the leaves had all turned brown and were falling off. It wasn't obvious at first that they were compound leaves.
