A detailed look at one year in the life of Fire pink (Silene virginica). These images and narrative can help to accurately identify the plant during different seasons of the year.
Silence California also has the glaring red flowers like this species but on a much smaller plant... It grows very dry in chaparral situations ii clearings... Hard to find but worth the effort... I want to try S.Virginica in my California garden for its fantastic display of striking scarlet flowers!!!
