Hummingbird Trumpet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hummingbird trumpet (Epilobium canum) is one of my favorite late summer into fall wildflowers to see in the wild. And, in the wild is wonderful, but this wildflower can be found in nurseries too, so get one for your personal habitat to remind you of those wild plants you saw. Yay! The photos are mine and taken on a recent trip into a nearby woodland. I love the shot with the water running through a rocky bed. The plants were spread into the surrounding woods as well.Very cool.
