Kalm's Lobelia / Lobelia kalmii
This is a photo from my archives - it isn't really spring here yet, lol, though the snow of the last couple of days is melting nicely! Some people have been having problems with their photos not showing up in all their Contacts' streams - think I must have been one of them today. Funny day on Flickr : )
Totally misleading, as any macro or supermacro shot is! This tiny, beautiful Kalm's Lobelia flower (and others) was found when botanizing Elkton Bog, near Cremona, on 30th July last year. This was a new plant for us, so we were excited and happy : )
"Lobelia kalmii is a species of flowering plant with a distribution primarily across Canada and the northern United States in temperate and boreal regions. It was formerly known as Lobelia strictiflora (Rydb.) Lunell and has a variety of English names including Kalm's lobelia, Ontario lobelia and Brook lobelia. Lobelia kalmii is a small plant (10 - 40 cm) of wet environments such as bogs, wet meadows, and rocky shorelines, including wet alvars, where it grows in calcareous soil or cracks between limestone rocks. It has small (1 cm) blue flowers , with a white center and has thin upper leaves and spatulate basal leaves. It starts flowering in July, lasting into September." From Wikipedia.
