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.
