Meet - Penstemon digitalis - commonly known as Smooth Penstemon.
A member of the snapdragon family this showy
native to the prairie is also called foxglove or beardtongue. Native Americans and folk-healers have made
use of this plant for medicinal purposes for both people and animals.
On our pollinator habitat this is the first species to materialize in large quantities. And there is an abundance of this blooming beauty. Acres upon acres of the stuff. This flower appears during late spring or
early summer for about a month and then it’s gone.
