Native American Zinnia Mythology
Zinnia flowers and leaves are used by many southwestern tribes as medicinal
and ritual herbs. The zinnia is considered one of the sacred Life Medicines
of the Navajo tribe. To some Pueblo tribes zinnias are a symbol of wisdom,
and they were fed to young children in hopes of making them grow up
intelligent and well-spoken. More prosaically, zinnias were also used by
southwestern tribes to make bright colors for dyes and paints. http://www.native-languages.org/legends-zinnia.htm?fbclid=IwAR2L28E2HnGQmzUFq3SrHdAs3pir6BdYDv_XYBTqaSlnzmIurqulRBxPGts
