This Apache Plume was growing in great numbers and there were so many specimens that it was hard to pick one. So, I found a nicely isolated flower that would give me the best background. I really enjoy looking at this plant and observing a large number of stamens.<\/p>\n<p>Apache Plume gets its name from the feathery seed heads which appear after the flowers bloom in the summer. The &#8220;plumes&#8221; are pinkish-purple in color and resemble an Apache headdress. This plant is native to all four southwestern deserts (Mojave, Chihuahuan, Great Basin, and Sonoran). It grows from Southern California to central Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Hopi Indians steeped leaves and applied the liquid as a rinse to promote hair growth, they boiled roots in water for coughs and used twigs to make tea for indigestion and spring fever. It&#8217;s not clear if any of these remedies actually worked.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20160902-lbj-wildflower-center-264-edit-e1473265542303.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9598\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/apache-plume\/apache-plume-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/20160902-lbj-wildflower-center-264-edit-e1473265542303.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1500,983\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
