The Bush Monkey Flower more popularly known as the Sticky Monkey Flower is an orange flower that grows in a bush form. Not the typical type of bush but rather a combination of bush and stalk that has deep green sticky foliage and has tube-like flowering offshoots that grow vertically. I have seen it range between 2 and 4.5 feet in height. While it may come in a variety of shades, I have only seen it in a light orange color that bees and hummingbirds seem to gravitate towards. Though there are several strains of the Monkey Flower, the one that I have become familiar with is coastal; I have seen it from the northern coast of California to Oregon, and as far as Washington. The bush grows in many climates and will thrive in many types of soil, wet, dry, sandy, or rocky. In fact it even grows in serpentine, a soil that most plants have difficulty thriving in because of its unique mineral composition. The Miwok and Pomo Indians used the Sticky Monkey's flowers and roots to treat a myriad of ailments, but was particularly useful for its anapestic qualities as it expedited the healing of minor scrapes and burns.
