Lobelia
Lobelia (/loʊˈbiːliə, lə-/) is a genus of flowering plants comprising 415 species, with a subcosmopolitan distribution primarily in tropical to warm temperate regions of the world, a few species extending into cooler temperate regions. They are known generally as lobelias.
Description
The genus Lobelia comprises a substantial number of large and small annual, perennial and shrubby species, hardy and tender, from a variety of habitats, in a range of colours. Many species appear totally dissimilar from each other. However, all have simple, alternate leaves and two-lipped tubular flowers, each with five lobes. The upper two lobes may be erect while the lower three lobes may be fanned out. Flowering is often abundant and the flower colour intense, hence their popularity as ornamental garden subjects.
Taxonomy
The genus is named after the Belgian botanist Matthias de Lobel (1538–1616). Some botanists place the genus and its relatives in the separate family Lobeliaceae, others as a subfamily Lobelioideae within the Campanulaceae. The Angiosperm Phylogeny Group did not make a firm decision on this, listing the genus under both families.

Rock Star
by: Lo-ballYou know I wanna be a rockstar
So I can take you home with me
I wanna get up late
Go out on dates
And get in all the clubs for free
So when you see me standing here
And I see you standing there
And you watch while I'm up here
You know I'm the one
You know I wanna be sedated
With twenty-twenty-four hours to go
So get down on your knees
I'll teach you to please
When we hook up after the show
I dont know how to be complacent
Or ever have to mean a word I say
So open up your throat
Hope you don't choke
Welcome to a typical day
So when you see me standing here
And I see you standing there
And you watch while I'm up here
You know I'm the one
The one, the one, the one
Reality is warped for me when constantly
You tell me I'm so cool, To you
Just photo shoots and interviews
And killer food
What's a girl to do, With you
So I grew up to be a rockstar
Dont talk to me about legality
With your ass in the air
I really don't care
What your mama thinks of me
So now you see me standing here
And you're still standing there
And you watch while I'm up here
