Lobelia cardinalis
The Cardinal Flower — Lobelia cardinalis is in full bloom. Unfortunately, the hummingbird that was flying around didn’t want its photo taken. I would estimate that this is about 70 plants of Cardinal Flower and it has a dramatic effect. Typically it blooms a few flowers on the stalk at a time from the end of July through September, so planting it in a mass is a great way to to get a larger color effect. This is the view out my window, what’s your view?
