This little star-shaped native wildflower called Sticky Cinquefoil was found in the forest, though it grows in open meadows too. Native Americans used the plant as a poultice for swellings and prepared a tea ingested as a tonic. Identification tip: Look for the green bracts between the yellow petals. Potentilla glandulosa
This flower makes me think of all the blossoms that appear in medieval tapestries and Liberty of London prints. A very flower-like flower! As usual, gorgeous dof and colors. Elaine @ 06-14-2012
