Lobelia cardinalis
Cardinal Flower
[Lobelia cardinalis]
Brilliant red spikes set against green and purple bronze colored foliage. Each individual spike of scarlet flowers opens from bottom to top and stays in bloom for several weeks. Hummingbirds and swallowtail butterflies love the nectar.
The roots of cardinal flower were part of a Native American love potion. Powder made from the entire plant was used as a magic dust to dispel storms.
