Lobelia cardinalis

Name: Lobelia Cardinalis


Kingdom:Plantae
(unranked):Angiosperms
(unranked):Eudicots


Observation: Upon arrival on viewing this plant, I noticed that it looked just like a regular plant.  When I say regular plant I mean the average plants that we see on someone's window sill.  This plant was at the wildlife refuge.  Scientific research, says the plant is a native to the Americas, from southeastern Canadasouth through the eastern and southwestern United StatesMexico and Central America to northern Colombia. It grows to about a meter tall (when in flower) and has bright red flowers (Wikipedia,org, 2011).  As you can see this is a Lobelia that is not "in flower".
