Multi-Color Balloon Flower

CaraRose
12 years ago

My mom planted two Balloon Flowers in the back of the garden years ago, one purple and one white. This year I noticed a third blooming. The flowers were all a mixture of purple and white (patterning of the color varied, one was mottled, one was literally split down the middle, with one half being purple and one half being white).

I can only assume this new plant is the result of cross pollination between the two colors? I'd never seen a multi-color balloon flower before.

I took some pictures of at least one bloom earlier this year. If I can find it I'll post it.

Hopefully it'll come back next year. It's growing a clump of yarrow that I hope doesn't choke it out.
