Since they only come around once a year, I tend to forget names of some of our wildflowers...perhaps spotting, photographing, identifing and writing about them will make them stick in my brain!
This one according to the Audubon Field Guide to Wild Flower, Western region, was used by Native Americans to make root preparations to treat burns and stomachaches.
