Goldenrod blooms up north before it blooms in the south?

LOL, no Ed, that's not how it works. The fall blooming plants bloom earlier in the north due to their shorter summers. Here in Mississippi, u won't see goldenrod blooming until late August-mid September, because of our longer growing season. I'm sure it is the same in Crenshaw. Plants bloom according to sunlight and/or temperature. That is why the northern states have earlier late blooms than we do.
