Spigelia longiflora
Cluster of red flowers. Plant about 30 cm tall (one feet).
A friend helped me track this down. Bull Blood Spigelia. (Spigelia longiflora) Http//www.backyardnature.net/q/spigelia.htm.
I love your pictures. The flowers and leaves remind me of Indian Pink which is a Spigela in the family Loganiacea. Yours might be related.
Thank you Dan Doucette. I'm really surprised myself, there were several of them in the area but I had never seen them before.
