Title: Plant ID
Post by: RidgeRunner on June 04, 2019, 06:49:20 am

These plants grow in the woods back behind our house.
I have never seen them anywhere else.
Most grow on the sides of steep hills.
Can someone ID them for me??

Thanks
David

It almost looks like a lobelia, David, ie. Cardinal flower(red) or blue lobelia. After the bloom comes out please post another pic or 2.
Although, lobelias generally grow in wet areas.

Got an ID on the Plant.
Took a while using the "High Speed" internet here at work.

The plant is called American Columbo.  Bit of a strange plant.

Lives for 5 to 30 years as a bunch of leaves.  Then it will send up a
flower stalk, bloom, make seeds then die.

Thanks

David, There is a real good free App for your phone called PlantSnap. Take a look at it.
