Scarlet bugler is a common name for Penstemon centranthifolius, a native California wildflower with vivid tubular red flowers perfectly shaped for hummingbird pollination. The name captures both the colour and the distinctive bugle-like shape of its blooms. It grows in dry, rocky chaparral and woodland habitats in California and Baja California. In a second usage, the name is also applied to certain cacti in related genera. As a term it sits in the registers of botany, gardening, and California native plant conservation.
The scarlet bugler was in full bloom along the trail, and the hummingbirds were working every single flower.
