Paula’s favorite:
Turk’s Cap: Malvaviscus arboreus
My favorite native plant is a shrub called Turks Cap. It blooms in my yard from late April to November with bright red flowers that attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators. I love to walk out my front door and dodge the hummingbirds that dive bomb this plant.
