Hopefully it will flower for you, Karen!

I planted some this year - so far I have leaves and no flowers, but I love this family of flowering plants
Latimeria
It used to be classified in the genus Eupatorium (along with plants like boneset), but it's been moved to Conoclinium since then. A very pretty plant, it grows well in moist soils, and is useful for habitat restoration. The USDA has more information, and a great fact sheet for it as well: http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=COCO13

Thank you...is the common name 'mist flower'? I had to look on google for it.
