And~ the flower of life or Lin's flower. This is the leafy green one the healers put outside their healing houses. It's named for the shape of its tiny little blue flowers, and the general clump they grow in, which is sorta water-drop-y, and of course, water is life in the desert. Because of the name, people used to think it had healing properties. If you dripped water from the cup-like flowers over a wound, it was supposed to heal it faster, and drinking water from it would extend your life. A few people still believe this, but not many.
