• 𝘗𝘰𝘭𝘺𝘨𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘮 𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘴 aka "Bells of the Lost", a herbaceous perennial with white tubular flowers hanging from the underside of the stems. Since they are found mainly near flowing water, and flowers and fruits alike emit a faint glow at nighttime, they have been attributed the name "Bells of the Lost", often guiding lost travelers back to known pathways. •
