Lobelia aguana Lobeliaceae Don Mahoney, Strybing When this was displayed it had not yet been identified but subsequently has been identified by Frank Almeda of the Academy of Sciences. It is a rarely collected and previously uncultivated species. It has horticulture potential as its leaves and flowers are substantially larger than Lobelia laxiflora, to which it is related. Its large red flowers have a central yellow stripe on the lower petal. It should be grown in full sun or part shade with regular water. It hails from Vulcan Zunil in Guatemala where it grows between 7,000 and 8,000 feet. . Photo by Bruce Peters
