This little plant was a sweet surprise. I bought one last summer and planted it. It must have self-seeded. I know it as Balloon Flower.
The Balloon Flower now opened!
I have had many Black Swallowtail and Gulf Fritillary butterflies in my garden the last few days. I managed to catch this Gulf Fritillary on a zinnia.
I made a trip to our local HEB Plus for some groceries and found this white Canna. I love the pink specks!Ya'll Come Back!

The HEB Plus sells plants? How terrific; we have one, but no plants, ours isn't Plus.
ReplyDeleteThe balloon flower is beautiful; I love blue.
Beautiful pictures. Mimi
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of the butterfly on the zinnea. Just beautiful. I think I have balloon flower in my garden too. You know I don't even remember some of the things I planted. Now that I think about it I think it is bell flower I have. I wish they would hurry up and bloom so I can post some pictures for you to enjoy! Hugs, Loretta
