Joe Pye weed (Eutrochium maculatum)

But who is Joe Pye? It seems to be the anglophone name of a very interesting Mohican, Joseph Shauquethqueat, living at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, in Massachusetts and New York. Not clear he had anything to do with the plant, maybe only by association.

A scholarly article about botany, history and First Nations, with Latin names and a critical eye. Perfect 🤓

Close-up photograph of a yellow, orange, and black bumblebee foraging on the clusters of pink spotted Joe Pye weed flowers, some still closed in bud, others open with long stamens protruding from their centers. Pink flowers and green leaves are blurred in the background.

Photographie en gros plan d'un bourdon jaune, orange et noir, en train de butiner sur les fleurs roses en grappes de l'eupatoire maculé, certaines encore fermées en boutons, celles ouvertes avec de longues étamines sortant de leur centre. Des fleurs roses et des feuilles vertes sont floues en arrière-plan.
