♥️Ooooh! I love the pollen knob on the top of the cardinal flower opening that evolved to deposit it on the hummer's forehead. Works like a charm🤩

Lobelia cardinalis growing in its original spot. In March I saw rosettes were small and many. A quick sign of the cross ( born &raised Catholic )and I gently lifted three rosettes and transplanted them with a prayer. All took! #lobeliacardinalis #cardinalflower #Thursdaythoughts #flowers 🌱

♥️Just uncovered the cardinal flowers in one of my stump gardens. They are SO stunning in summer, and the hummingbirds can't get enough. I planted 3 last year, and they just kept going and going. Excited to see how much they spread this year!🌱 #nativeplants #lobeliacardinalis #bloomscrolling
These babies were piled high with leaves in the fall, and our super snow this winter smashed them all into a mat. This is after peeling off the mat, uncovering the plants, and refluffing the leaves.

With its dark buds and red flowers the Cardinal Lobelia are quite spectacular. Grow this perennial in a mostly sunny spot for something different 🌸 #eckardsgarden #lobeliacardinalis

Cardinal Flower ( #Lobeliacardinalis) is blooming. This native grows tall in a rain garden/french drain that helps mitigate water damage to the shed. Beautiful & supports the ecosystem! Joepye ( #eutrochiummaculatum) close behind #cardinalflower #nativeplant #nativeplantsofnorthamerica #raingarden

Ruby-throated hummingbird at a cardinal flower. #Ruby-ThroatedHummingbird #ArchilochusColubris #Hummingbird #Bird #Animal #CardinalFlower #LobeliaCardinalis #Bellflower #Wildflower #Nature #Photography #PicnicPoint #Madison #Wisconsin
A ruby-throated hummingbird hovering in front of a cardinal flower. The cardinal flower is a tall plant just right of center at the photo. The bottom 2/3 of it is bare, but at the top are a number of brilliant scarlet flowers. The hummingbird is hovering just to the left of the red flowers. It is a female with a metallic green back and head and a white throat. The eye is black with a small white spot behind. The eye and the long beak are black. Its dark wings are spread open behind the bird. There is a little bit of black edging on the tail and white at the very end. In the background are a lot of blurred pink flowers and green leaves.

The flower was used by various Native Tribes as a relief for ailments such as fevers, cramps and stomachaches. ( The plant itself is potentially toxic and ingestion is not recommended for those looking to self medicate. ) Cardinal Flower was first documented by Canadian Explorers, who sent samples to France in 1620. Lobelia, was formally described and named in 1753 by Carl Linnaeus in his seminal work Species Plantarum, honoring the Flemish botanist Matthias de L’Obel. Photo was taken with a Canon T2i Rebel equip with a 18mm - 55mm Lens and Raynox-DCR 250 Snap-on Macro. ISO1250 36mm 0ev f/5 @ 1/500s

Cardinal flower proves that August doesn't have to be all soft pastels. ❤️ Its brilliant scarlet flower spikes bring fresh colour just when the late summer border needs it most.

Close-up of vivid scarlet cardinal flower spikes covered in fresh blooms and unopened buds. The bright red flowers stand out against green foliage in the background. The image is framed in a white Polaroid-style border with the words "The August Garden", and the Up the Garden website address appears in the bottom left corner.
