Summer Wildflowers - Standing Cypress

This native beauty surprised me when it kept growing and growing and growing. I didn't know what it was but I thought it was beautiful. It attracts hummingbirds to its showy red tubular petals. It can grow to 6 feet and mine certainly achieved that. The flowers then became so heavy that it started dropping and couldn't hold all the weight. Apparently this is a biennial plant, which means it takes two years to complete the flowering cycle. It starts growing the first year but does not flower until the second year and then dies. This bloomed last summer (May-June) so I'm not sure if I'll see it again this year. I may have to buy some seeds and plant this one to keep seeing it! From what I read, it's easy to cultivate but is not deer resistant, so I may have some problems there. It is also called a Red Texas Star.
