About Beeblossom, Scarlet
This long-rooted prairie plant (whose prairies have mostly become farmland) is found in wild prairie remnants in western Minnesota. Farther west, however, it's making a comeback in the areas between the rural roads and farm fields or along railroad tracks. It can form colonies by underground stems. Seed from Fall River County, S.D.
