White wild indigo (Baptisia alba), found in the wild, with thigh-high spikes of white flowers, is a sight to behold. This native member of the bean family, along with other members of the Baptisia genus, have become popular in native and perennial gardens. I'm lucky to have found two Baptisiae growing in the woods near my dad's house.
(The other is an endangered species, Baptisia megacarpa, with yellow not-as-pretty flowers that arrive in early summer followed by bean pods that look puffed up like balloons.)
I took a few photos of white wild indigo this morning:
