Did you Know? “Floribunda” means freely blooming. Cheyenne Indians used the dried, powdered leaves rubbed over hands, arms and body for Contrary dance. The Blackfoot Indians used the leaves mixed with dried meat as a deodorant and spice, and to fill pillows. They used the dry, flaky bark as tinder when starting a fire with twirling sticks. The Eskimo used the dried leaves to make tea.
