Anandria, yes, a slip on my part.  I never have gotten a good close up of the real flower, but here is a blown up one:



Interesting plant-- I think I've come across the name somewhere.. nice fall colour too...

How very timely, Stephen: just yesterday I was going through the "P" section of leftover seeds from the 2010-2011 Nargs seed ex that our Chapter received.  There is a packet of Patrinia scabiosifolia.  Would you like it?

Many thanks for the Patrinia seed which arrived today!! Let me know if there's anything I can send in return!

Thank you for the ideas for late season interest in a rock garden.
I am keeping a list and will look for either the plants or seeds.

Nice to see that you are still "lurking" around, Caroline.

Not sure where to post this.

Loasa coccinea ( Caiophora andina)?

This flower might look innocent but each of those hairs can deliver a sting equal to a wasp sting but fortunately the pain does not last quite as long.

An AWESOME plant Michael!  I too wonder where the species fall, whether it be Loasa of Caiophora, the taxonomy seems to be in flux.  It sounds like you know the stinging effect of touching the plant's bristles first hand.

The structure of the flower itself is certainly unusual, too, and in several ways. 

Even the leaves look interesting!

I doubt it survives year-round in zone 3, either.   Grin Grin

Chileflora lists several species, none as showy as yours though Michael but some seem to be quite hardy.
