Lavender clouds. Yet another flower that we should have more of but that we don't see very many of. This photo was taken earlier this year (at the end of June). The close-up is by Ed and it is the truer color. I've grown these for about five years and they don't seem to be much in the business of self-multiplication. Usually, they don't even set much seed, but this year they seem to be setting a lot. I have previously tried to grow them from seed with no success, but I usually had about 2 seeds. Maybe better luck this next spring?
I originally bought two plants from a neighbor on the Sunshine Coast who sells extras from her ever-expanding garden as a home business. I planted one in the shade and one in the sun, and the one in the sun does better, but they have both done well. They get to be about 40 inches tall and the blossoms last about 3 weeks. The foliage is similar to columbine.
