It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog! Today's flower is one I enjoy a lot. This is Wooly Verbena. It usually flowers June through September so it is done now, I took this image during a bike ride a while back. It is very drought resistant with roots that can extend to 12 feet. Cattle do not like the taste as it is bitter. Plains Indians made a tea from the leaves to treat stomachaches.
Presumably the tea was bitter as well, took one's mind off the stomach? 😊
