Macro shot of a hummingbird plant with blossoms. The blossoms appear as clumps interspersed on a long stalk. There is a fuzzy, dark pink/mauve portion, then hot pink petals emerge from the mauve cluster. The hot pink portion has a thin strand (stamen?) that is at the very tip. Located in the hills of San Luis Obispo, California.

A large patch of hummingbird sage which has long, narrow green leaves and flowers that are vertical stalks with dark mauve and hot pink flowers. Just as its name suggests, it attracts hummingbirds and other pollinators. In the background are a variety of trees, and the sky is a pale blue. These can be spotted in the hills of San Luis Obispo, California.

🌿Hummingbird sage has deep roots with the Chumash people, the indigenous inhabitants of the Santa Barbara region

They used the leaves to make a medicinal tea for treating lung congestion and sore throats⚕️

Sharing Alina’s Funky Flower post of #HummingbirdSage.

Closeup of a wildflower that has a fuzzy surface with dew drops caught in the fuzz. Hot pink flower buds are starting to emerge. The rest of the plant is a brownish maroon, lightened by the fuzz and dew. Spotted on a hike in the hills of San Luis Obispo, California.

This bright, hot pink flower is California hummingbird sage (Salvia spathacea). Dew is attached to its velvet-like texture.
