Snakeweed
Snakeweed thrives in calcareous dunes and warm, lightly fertilized sandy soil. The buds of the flowers are a pinkish-red color, but once they open, the flowers change from purple to a bright blue. The flowers are edible and have a taste reminiscent of cucumber. The stems are prickly and the leaves are hairy. The flowers have long stamens that protrude from the calyxes, and the flower style resembles the split tongue of a snake, giving the plant a remarkably hairy appearance.
