Gattinger's Lobelia (Lobelia appendiculata) is named for the early Tennessee physician and botanist, Dr. Augustin Gattinger (1825-1903), who came to Tennessee during the Civil War. He played an important role in identifying cedar glades as botanically important areas. This picture was taken at Cedars of Lebanon State Park.
Such a beautiful color, reminds me of the violet.
