Talk about a stunner, Lobelia tupa<\/a> rises to the occasion. I received this plant in the mail from Secret Garden Growers. It came in a 4″ pot. Aren’t plants a marvel.<\/p>\n

Look at this tiny plant. Why I never!<\/p>\n

\"\"
It all arose from this little mail-order plant, which I purchased in 2016.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lobelia tupa grew vigorously into its second season. I was happy with it just for the foliage.<\/p>\n

And then it bloomed and bloomed. Fun stuff.<\/p>\n

I’d retake this picture if it was 2017, but you get the idea.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m going to need to relocate that poor Paeonia ‘Chinese Dragon’<\/a> under its reach. The peony came via mail too, from Gossler Farms.<\/p>\n

I should show you what it looks like in bloom. Peonies: swoon, right?<\/p>\n

Once I understood the effort and expense of shipping plants, I stopped thinking nurseries charge too much. Herculean efforts to ship plants, and that’s after they’ve gone to all the trouble of growing them. It’s pretty exciting to see a robust plant spring out of the box.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"
Lobelia tupa struts its stuff.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

And hummingbirds love it. No time for a carefully composed picture when this little guy landed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"
This hummingbird practically landed on my head.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lobelia tupa aka Devil’s Tobacco<\/a>–a good one for the plant lust list. You’ll like it, and the hummingbirds will thank you.<\/p>\n
