Lovely photos of the balloon flowers... ours are past here in the mid-west, and missed , might I add... L
Interesting name! :)
Beautifully captured shot, and love the info given.
This is a beautiful flower. I have seen it many times before, but didn't know the name! Thanks Maia.
such a beautiful flower! I didn't know it had medicinal purposes.
I like these flowers, especially when they are still in the balloons stage!
Thank you for your words of comfort, MaiaT. It's the best medicine for now!
These are gorgeous and interesting.
These are exquisite flowers and you've captured their beauty so well.
I grow this flower and prefer the blue colour - kids love to pop the little balloon heads.
