Taken using backlight from the setting sun just before it dropped below the treeline in the distance. Worth checking out in large size to see the details here.
Great Plains Native Americans used this plant for numerous medicinal purposes, including treatment of colds, fevers, coughs, stomach pains, respiratory difficulties, and acne. They also used it to perfume their hair and clothes. These long-blooming, fragrant flowers are especially inviting to bees, which is why they are also called “beebalm”.
