Nuttallanthus canadensis 2, Blue todflax, Howard County, Md, Helen Lowe Metzman
Blue Toadflax. Nuttallanthus canadensis. Considered to be a good bee and butterfly plant. I have no experience with this species (that I am aware of). Has a sequence of blooms indicating that it may be in bloom for a while. Helen Lowe Metzman took the shot and collected the specimen.
We Are Made One with What We Touch and See
We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,
With our young lives each spring impassioned tree
Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
