| Here are cAROL's red flowers--I'm posting them for her and she's hoping folks can tell her what they are. I'm no expert but my guess would be some type of salvia or else the cardinal flower someone else on the forum suggested. Guessing cardinal flower because they're blooming so late in the season.
cAROL says Thanks everyone! |

| Yes,I do say thank you to every one,and to you Eileen, for posting for me. These are this years, WSed seedlings, grew to be about 4 feet tall, bloomed the first year, in August. I received them in Pattys WLOMWL,last year.Maybe some one will remember sending them to me? A beautiful plant, hummers and butterflies love it. Again, Thank you Eileen. cAROL |

| Salvia subrotunda, an annual. You don't have to worry about collecting and resowing them. They reseed heavily. The hummers do love them. |
