Lobelia siphilitica color

>>...None of my perennial books or native plant books mentions any
variation in color except the alba form so I'm thinking that this is an 
unusual form of this plant.  Oh yeah, I'm sure that the color isn't an aging
effect since all flowers on the plant are the same color from the newest to
the oldest.<<

John,
Lavender may be an unusual color for Lobelia in Virginia, but it is quite
common here in Missouri.  In Edgar Denison's book, Missouri Wildflowers, he
listed the color for L. siphilitica as "variable, light or dark violet, light
or dark blue or lavender, rarely white.  --Janis
