Never seen these before, had to look them up. These are absolutely beautiful pink flowers. I found them growing wild. They are a native wildflower in the US but also are now being grown and sold commercially. They do come in several colors. I like this wild pink one. The foliage is very pretty too. Beardtongue has traditionally been used as a poultice for swellings, gun and arrow wounds, eyewash; a tea drunk for contipation, stomach ache, internal injuries, bronchitis, kidney problems and whooping cough. This little honey bee approves!

Thanks Les. It may be the same or related to it. I think this plant comes from a very large family.
