Great Blue Lobelia
Lobelia siphilitica

"The Meskwaki people used it as part of an inhalant against catarrh."
These are both statements that I found on the web. It's interesting to think that the native Americans must have used all sorts of plants for all sorts of remedies and it probably varied over the continent. But, how do we know for sure what they used? Does anyone know of a trusted reference book on native American medicine? Can you believe everything you read on the web?
At this point, the Meskwaki tribe is mostly known for its casino.
The beautiful flowers make it a favorite for native plant gardeners |
