Pollinator Palooza Plants
Cardinal Flower (Lobelia cardinalis), with its spikes of trumpet-like red flowers, is named for the vivid hue of a Roman Catholic cardinal’s robe. Cardinal flowers will bloom during summer and sometimes into fall. The bright color and sweet nectar attract many species of hummingbirds, as well as butterflies.This native perennial grows in morning sun and afternoon shade. It can reach heights of 3 to 4 feet, requires average soil moisture, and is moderately deer resistant.
Bumble Feast Natives, owned by Rotarian Elsa Higby, is cultivating Cardinal Flowers for sale at the first Pollinator Palooza Festival from 9 a.m. to noon May 10 at Mahoning Soil & Water Conservation District, 850 Industrial Road, Youngstown, 44509. Co-sponsors are Operation Pollination, Mahoning County Land Bank, and OSU Extension Mahoning County. Admission is free. Join vendors and community partners as they celebrate planting for pollinators.
April 11, 2006: Youngstown Rotarians celebrated “Administrative Professionals Day" with employees attending as special guests; a decades-old tradition that formerly was called "Secretaries Day".
