Hot Pink Scullcap


As I made my daily rounds in the polyhouse on this rainy afternoon, just as it was starting to rain, I noticed how bright the flowers of Scutellaria ventenatii really are.  From what I gather, it is a tropical plant that blooms most of the time.  It certainly has bloomed a long time in the greenhouse this winter.  I don't recall noticing it this summer, and either it takes a break when confronted with heat, or I just didn't notice it against all the other colorful things we seem to have in the warm polyhouse.
