Shot: Close-up of an inflorescence. Photographer's note: "Cardinal flower normally has strikingly red flowers. The white form is rare. Two years ago we found a single small plant with a couple of white flowers. My friend Steve Bowling collected the plant and skillfully cultivated it. Now there are over fifty plants from this one clone. They have been planted around the Conservation Garden at the Atlanta Botanical Garden. They are coming into bloom and are spectacular. Two plants were put back into the wild at the original collection site."
