Lisianthus In A Flower Garden

Lisianthus, also known as Texas bluebell, prairie gentian or prairie rose and botanically called Eustoma grandiflorum, is a small genus in the gentian family. They are native to warm regions of the southern United States, Mexico, Caribbean and northern South America. It is the birth flower of the Sagittarius astrological sign. The deep blue varieties evoke a sense of peace and openness.

Joe Pye Weed,

 (Eutrochium) is a North American genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the sunflower family. They are commonly referred to as Joe-Pye weeds. They are native to the United States and Canada. Joe Pye (Jopi in the Native tongue), an Indian healer from New England, used E. purpureum to treat a variety of ailments, which led to the name Joe-Pye weed. Folklore says that Joe Pye used this plant to cure fevers, that American colonists used this plant to treat typhus outbreaks, and that the Indians used Joe Pye Weed in the treatment of kidney stones and other urinary tract ailments.
