Description

Red calamint wildflowers live in sandy soil and splash their bright red flowers proudly against their scrubby backdrops. Once prolific around the coastal areas of Florida, their habitat has given way to development. It’s a treat to see a bush of this member of the mint family growing stubbornly in an overgrown space where I take my daily walks.
