Lovely capture, Dave

Agree- lovely capture. Was fascinated by the flower name and looked up the derivation.
A herbal medicine - "It is stated that the popular name Boneset is derived from the great value of this remedy in the treatment of a species of influenza which had much prevailed in the United States, and which from the pain attending it was commonly called Break-Bone Fever.
