I found this growing in the greenbelt this summer. It was the only thing
green in the area after weeks of no rain and August hot weather. Moved it
into one of my beds where it has recovered now and is blooming. Appreciate
any help in an ID on what it is. It is about 4 feet tall now. Did not take
to the transplanting and took several weeks to recover.

Thanks

Cliff
