52 WEEKS::Scarlet Butterflyweed - SOLD

I have always been enamoured of scarlet butterflyweed (not to be confused with the butterfly milkweed) not only of its beautiful whirling petals and stamens but also of its name. It is a perennial member of the evening primrose family and is also known as beeblossom or gaura coccinea.  The flowers bloom white, slowly changing to scarlet as the day progresses.  Navajo made a cold tea infusion to settle the stomachs of children after vomiting while the Lakota apparently rubbed it into their hands using the sweet scent to catch horses
