Variegated obedient plant or false dragonhead (Physotegia virginiana variegata)
This is another plant I love because it blooms in September. This particular variety has variegated leaves that looks beautiful as soon as the first leaves appear in June.

The reason Physotegia is commonly known as OBEDIENT plant is because you can bend the individual flowers left or right.
Hummingbirds love this plant too!

These are beautiful, and I have them. OK, had them and didn't know their names. Excellent shots!
What a beautiful flower and I love the way you caught a hummingbird feeding on it.
All excellent shots, EG. I heard of another name for the plant---Florist Favorite--of course because it is Obedient. LOL
Perfect Hummingbird shot. MB
Love the second shot with the beautiful green bokeh!
Great catch on the hummingbird feeding.

I love todays flower! And a wonderful capture of the little visitor :D
Lovely pictures! And how well you captured the little hummingbird!
Have a nice week ahead!
An obedient plant? Haha! That was a funny name! And it looks as beautiful as the bird that feeds on it!
Nice photos. However it wasn't so 'obedient' when it started running all over the garden.
Gorgeous. Always a flower lesson to be learned from you! The hummingbird was a nice surprise at the end. . . just when I thought your post couldn't be more perfect, you added "frosting to the cake."
my favorite color as always...lovely flower...
is this colors forereal? It looks like you done something in a PS program :)
I love that hummingbirds love it.
Nature Footstep,
The first two photos are the real colour of the blossoms in sunlight. These are the variegated variety. The bottom photo was taken in low light.
Love these! We still have hummers here. I'm hoping they don't migrate south too soon...
Love all your photos especially with the hummingbird. Great shots.
I have never heard of obedient flowers before. You're educating me! This one is a beauty.
They are so beautiful, love them all.
This is a beautiful plant. The fact that it blooms in September is a very nice bonus.
The blooms are lovely. It is nice to have blooms in September. I like how the little buds show the yellow varigation.
I love the color. The hummingbird looks perfect next to it, too!

Hummingbirds I wisch we had them in Sweden too! MB

An obedient flower? That's amazing. Great hummingbird shot.
