Returning home again
and again,
but able to run
through the hills and be alone.
Earth keeper, carrying
medicine…
sharing in so many
ways…
grounded in love…
If I had to choose a flower representing Coyote Spirit, it would instinctively be the flower rapunzel. Much as Sakura is the Fox Spirit Flower, Rapunzel could be the Coyote Spirit Flower, couldn't it? .. Ether element spreads freely, unsubjected

Campanula rapunculus,
common name rampion bellflower, rampion, or rover bellflower, is a species of
bellflower (Campanula) in the family Campanulaceae. This species was once
widely grown in Europe for its leaves, which are rich in vitamin C and were used like spinach in winter salads, and its vegetable parsnip-like root, which is a little sweet, reminiscent of walnuts, and was used raw like a radish or cooked, since can be boiled as you would boil a carrot. Young shoots in spring can be blanched and cooked like asparagus. Rampion is a flower, a herb and a vegetable all rolled into one plant. The destilled water from both the stems of the plant and the plant itself was also once used as a facial treatment to whiten the skin and free it from blemishes. The Brothers Grimm's tale
Rapunzel took its name from this plant.

Etymology
The genus Latin name (“campanula”), meaning small bell, refers to the bell-shape of the flower, while the specific name (“rapunculus”) is a diminutive of the Latin “rapa” (liitle rapa or turnip) and means 'little turnip', which refers to the shape of the root.
