I love balloon flowers. I had to stop for a moment to think just how many balloon flower plants I have growing in my front and back gardens and I believe that there are seven plants. Only two of them are white balloon flowers.
I think they are a cheerful little flower. They really do look like a balloon when they develop, and they when they finally open they are bright and cheery.
Have you tried growing balloon flowers?

I just asked another GTS blogger is balloon flowers come in any other colors; now I have the answer! Nice photo.

Yep, I have two purple balloon flower plants. I love them. They look great growing next to my correopsis too. Unforunately, they pooped out early this year and have stopped blooming. 🙁 I think it’s the extremely hot and dry weather we’ve been having.

Yes, I have tried to grow them before, but there never came back the years after. I think they don´t like the soil in my garden.

Yap I do. I have the purple one as well. Nice flower!
