Wild Bergamot
At the height of the summer, the purple flowers of the wild bergamot are a normal part of any blanket of prairie wildflowers. It is not a rare flower, and it is so spectacularly showy that it's not easy to miss if it's in bloom. Wild bergamot has a square stem - like all plants of the mint family - and grows as tall as four feet. The plant is crowned with showy purple tubular flowers and its leaves make a fine mint tea.
