[americansouthwest.net] Bloom Stages: Chylismia cardiophylla can be identified by its wide, soft-hairy, heart-shaped leaves and, in spring, by the bright red withered flowers; the plant blooms over a relatively long period, producing a dense, elongated cluster in which the nodding flowers open gradually, from the base upwards. Old flowers remain attached for a while to the developing, upwardly-pointing seed pods, which are narrow and cylindrical, up to 2.5 inches in length. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
