Today is a warm, warm day in Western PA. I grew up in Baltimore, though, so I can’t really say
that it is HOT here.
My balloon flower is blooming!
Yesterday it wasn’t, and today it is, one
flower on each plant.
My two balloon flower plants are like Laurel and Hardy – one
is a bit skinny, the other a bit stout.

The balloon flower is on the left.
That dark purple flower on the right is a petunia. |
I find these plants so odd and fascinating. And this year there are plenty more balloon flowers to come!

Busting indeed! I love bloom season so much, too.
I love your balloon flowers! That purply-blue may be my favorite color- I guess you could call it indigo?
I've never heard of a balloon flower before -- how fascinating to watch it bloom!
