Found my first Monkeyflower (Mimulus) on the trail opposite from a Broadleaf
Cattail and Pickerel Weed marsh. As can be seen, the Allegheny Monkeyflower is
purple and yellow and some say looks like a money's face. The lower part of the flower
has three lobes and the upper part has two lobes. The leaves are opposite and tend
to clasp the square stem (no petioles -- sessile).
