“Native Americans consumed scarlet globemallow roots during periods of food shortage. The Cheyenne made a tea of ground roots, stems and leaves to mix with other medicines to make them more palatable. The Comanche used a scarlet globemallow infusion to treat swellings and the Dakota chewed the plant and applied it as a salve for wounds and sores.”

Thanks so much for your comments about my photo of the orange flowers with the Sandia Mountains of Albuquerque in the background. We visited a park that is well-known in the city but new to us as it's pretty far from where we live. It has a magnificent view of the entire city, and we will probably return there from time to time.
