If you are always searching for something new and different to add to your flower garden, you might want to take a look at rattlesnake master, Eryngium yuccifolium .
Rattlesnake master is a native perennial plant found in Michigan and many other states. In the wild, it is only found in prairie habitats. According to one authoritative source, in Michigan it was only native in the far southwestern counties of the state. Other sightings of the plant seem to be due to the re-establishment of prairies since it is often a part of prairie seed mixes.
