  THIS INDIVIDUAL WAS REMOVED AS A SMALL PLANT FROM A NATIVE COLONY IN DETROIT'S ROUGE PARK ON MAY 16, 2004 (BRODOVICH 1355), AND PLANTED IN MY ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN GARDEN. AFTER THREE YEARS OF FULL SUN AND PLENTY OF WATER IT BEGAN TO BOLT SHORTLY AFTER THE SUMMER SOLSTICE OF 2007. THE TERMINAL FLOWER HEAjD AT THE VERY TOP OF THE PLANT WAS THE FIRST TO OPEN (ON AUGUST 14). PEAK FLOWERING OCCURRED IN EARLY SEPTEMBER. FLOWERING WAS FINISHED (EXCEPT FOR  A FEW STRAGL1ERS) BY OCT. 1. IN ALL, SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 300 HEADS WERE PRODUCED. THE PLANT HAD A SINGLE STOUT, HOLLOW, STEM. VARIOUS BEES, ESPECIALLY BUMBLEBEES, WERE USUALLY STRONGLY ATTRACTED TO THE FLOWERS, AND USUALLY THERE WERE SEVERAL PRESENT. NO S3ED WAS SET, PROBABLY BEASUE OF A NEED FOR CROSS-POLLINATION. ON APRIL 18, 2008, SEVERAL NEW SHOOTS EMERGED FROM AROVND THE BASE OF THE OLD FRUITING STALK, DEMONSTRATING THAT THIS SPECIES IS NOT MONOCARPIC. DIGITAL PHOTOS OF ALL STAGES OF THE BOLTING AND FLOWERING HAVE BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN HERBAoRIUM. 6Nd      PRENANTHES   e|K  william w. brodovich    J 1051169 ASTERALES Q) e3  crepidinea FE|              F  wayne prenanthes crepidinea `+  Michx.

The terminal flower head at the very top of the plant was the first to open (on August 14). Peak flowering occurred in early September. Flowering was finished (Except for a few stragllers) by Oct. 1. In all, slightly more than 300 heads were produced. The plant had a single stout, hollow, stem. Various bees, especially bumblebees, were usually strongly attracted to the flowers, and usually there were several present. No seed was set, probably beasue of a need for cross-pollination. On April 18, 2008, several new shoots emerged from around the base of the old fruiting stalk, demonstrating that this species is not monocarpic.
