Scorpion Weed flower





Image from dailymail.co.uk



When I first saw this picture I was in awe of this beautiful sight.  A beautiful carpet of purple wild flowers emerging from the parched gray desert soil was an amazing sight and a pleasure for my sore eyes .  I was still in awe of the sight and wondered why such a beautiful bloom had a 'scorpion' in it's name. I looked it up and found  that these beautiful wild  flowers not only give out a  foul odor but they will also give you a nasty itchy,stingy  rash if you ever touched them.
