AThe monkeyflower varieties I have are in full bloom making the incubating moms and recently fledged baby hummingbirds very happy. #monkeyflower #BackyardBlooms #berkeleyadventures
caffinationYellow monkeyflower, Mimulus guttatus. Native to the west coast of north America but some populations have been established in the east. Its leaves are edible and can be used as lettuce. As a medicinal plant it can be steamed and used as a treatment for chest or back soreness. Or as a treatment for wounds.

How a single-gene change led to a new species of monkeyflower
Monkeyflowers glow in a rich assortment of colors, from yellow to pink to deep red-orange. But about 5 million years ago, some of them lost their yellow. In the Feb. 10 issue of Science, UConn botanists explain what happened genetically to jettison the yellow pigment, and the implications for the evolution of species.
