The reddest reds

July 25, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

Cardinal Flower Even I, red-green colorblind that I am, could see this lurid blossom amidst a sea of green. No doubt I'm not viewing this as the intense red that most viewers perceive Cardinal flowers, but I'm told that the color of Lobelia cardinalis blooms is something you just can't miss. For the past few days, I've been watching these wetland beauties get ready for their midsummer show, and no sooner did a cold front roll in and turn things chilly than the Cardinal flowers opened to warm up the edges of the pond. The hummingbirds and the hummingbird moths will find these blooms irresistible. They won't be alone.
