Blazing-Star or Liatris Comparison
{"Image ImageDescription": "\"The genus Liatris has a number of common names, including blazing-star and gay feather.  In my area, the species seen most often in the wild, and in cultivation, is dense blazing-star, L. spicata.  Recently I saw what I believe is rough blazing-star, L. aspera, planted in the Great Lakes wildflower area of the Matthaei Botanical Gardens.  I thought I'd show a comparison between the different forms.  L. spicata is on the left.  My wildflower field guides suggest that L. aspera has a more westerly range and a somewhat later blooming season than L. spicata.", "Image Make": "\"SONY\"", "Image Model": "\"NEX-7\"", "Image XResolution": "1", "Image YResolution": "1", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Not Absolute", "Image Software": "\"Adobe Photoshop CS5 Windows\"", "Image DateTime": "2014:08:06 07:36:39", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered", "Image ExifOffset": "778", "EXIF ExposureTime": "1/200", "EXIF ExifVersion": "0230", "EXIF DateTimeOriginal": "2014:08:02 13:22:59", "EXIF DateTimeDigitized": "2014:08:02 13:22:59", "EXIF ComponentsConfiguration": "YCbCr", "EXIF FlashPixVersion": "0100", "EXIF ColorSpace": "sRGB", "EXIF Contrast": "Normal", "EXIF Saturation": "Normal", "EXIF Sharpness": "Normal", "EXIF LensModel": "\"E 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 OSS\""}
