Brilliant Crimson

Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis), adding color to a wide swath of the Americas. Native from southeastern Canada south through the eastern and southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America to northern Colombia.

Perfect for hummingbirds and butterflies love it too. Though I have it in my gardens, I totally love to find it in the woods!
