Sneezeweed

entry picture

A patch of my garden 
is now a sea of red and gold
These daisy like flowers 
most cheerful, eye catching and bold 
 
They attract butterflies and bees
and now goldfinches too
They go by the name of Sneezeweed
yes! it is really true

In ancient times gone by 
snuff was made from their dried leaves 
To help rid the body of evil 
inhaled to make you sneeze

How interesting. And to add to the fun, the name suggests a
modern pop group!!
