Lost name tag

[woodturner with koi]

Hi I have lost the name tag for this pond plant. I didn't think it would blossom this late but it looks it will, so I need a name for it, I am in zone 4-5, a couple more days or week or so and I will have to get it ready for winter. thanks

Looks like Cardinal Flower to me.

Cardinal Flower, <em>Lobelia cardinalis</em>

With its spires of brilliant red flowers, cardinal flower is an unmistakable perennial for moist spots. This American native is found in moist open woods, streambanks and marshy areas throughout the eastern US from Canada through Central America. Learn more about this great plant with flowers...
