I grew bunch of them from seed surrounding a birdbath on our patio. The hummingbirds fight over them. I don’t know about their medicinal value, I’ll have to check it out.
You’ve painted a Christmas card! I just love the colors and especially the new growth at the top. Beautiful! I don’t think that flowers grows where I live; will have to look it up.
Thanks! It’s Lobelia cardinalis (cardinal flower). It’s an American native plant that grows along the edges of streams and lakes. Hummingbirds flock to it.
So beautiful Pam, do you grow this for its medicinal value or is it a volunteer?

This is gorgeous. What plant is it? Did you grow it?

Beautifully done!
This is beautiful. I love the vertical feeling, the space and of course the color!
