      Definitely! This is another plant I've had for decades. I found it along an abandoned railroad grade in northern Wisconsin in 1996 and brought a few root cuttings home. Posted 5 years ago

        Do you keep a journal of these things? Or do you have an incredible memory? Posted 5 years ago

          I keep field notes of my work but for other things it is what I remember and very often includes photos with dates included. I went back to this place in 2014 and the population had really expanded. Besides the cup plant there are a number of intersting plants along the grade and adjacent wetlands. A few of them have wound up here. Posted 5 years ago
