Salvia regla – Mountain Sage

Hiking the upper part of the Lost Mine Trail in the Chisos Mountains last week, I came upon the showy, bright red, tubular flowers of Salvia regla or Mountain Sage. Often blooming in the spring and, again in the fall, the flowers are attractive to migrating hummingbirds! The plant is native to the rocky, higher elevation slopes of the Chisos Mountains and a corresponding area across the border in several of the states of Mexico.
