Red Buckeye - Aesculis pavia

 Red Buckeye - Aesculis pavia
This close relative of the Yellow Buckeye is a member of the Horse Chestnut family. This is a northern species not native to this area, but has escaped from cultivation and does well in some areas. Blooming at around the arrival time of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds, they are a favorite food of those birds and many species of bees.
