Stachys 'Hidalgo'
Another thank you to Jacki of Oregon, aka jacki-dee@Flickr for sharing one of her photographs with us (original via BPotD Flickr Group Pool).
There's plenty of confusion surrounding the name of this plant; a glance at search engine results reveals Stachys 'Hidalgo', Stachys coccinea 'Hidalgo', Stachys albotomentosa, Stachys albotomentosa 'Hidalgo', and, for good measure, even Stachys hidalgo (which has never been scientifically published). I've opted to use the name tentatively accepted by the Royal Horticultural Society. The common name is scarlet hedgenettle or seven-up plant.
