Cardinal Flower

Found some cardinal flower growing by a pond. It really is this color. This native wildflower only has one pollinator - hummingbirds - so it doesn't spread very quickly. And it only grows where its roots stay wet.

Another I haven't seen this year - they usually grow in the little creek but no sign of any this summer - wonderful detail on those tips.

Your image of this cardinal flower is so stunning. My Mom has a couple on her property and I saw some elsewhere too this week.
