 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.

  1. Presumably the tea was bitter as well, took one's mind off the stomach? 😊
