I went on a hike when I was visiting Chateaugay, NY. I came across lots of beautiful flowers. Here is a photograph of Penstemon flowers. They are a large genus of North America and East Asia flowering plants. They grow to be about 4 to 5 feet tall, at a mature age. Native Americans used to use roots of the Penstemon to relieve toothache.

Habitat: forest

What I found interesting: the color of these flowers are very "happy" and bright. Immediately caught my eye as I was walking by.
