My name is Anna. I teach kindergarten and 1st grade, and I bought my first home in June 2012. Since then, I have become very interested in gardening because I finally have my very own tiny outdoor space! It's been an ongoing project, especially with my two dogs! One of the perks to my career is having lots of time off. Spring breaks and summers off will give me a chance to gain more knowledge about my new hobby.

Balloon Flower
The balloon flower is a wonderful perennial that blooms from spring into late summer. I have the purple variety. The flowers are beautiful when fully open, but the thing that attracts me the most to this plant is when the flowers are right at their "balloon" stage. It is a sight to behold! It's honestly just so cool! Pictured below is one of my flowers in that "balloon" stage. I have it planted in a container next to the front gate of my tiny garden. Sorry, it is a bit blurry.
