Balloon flowers, otherwise known as Chinese Bellflowers, are fascinating to watch. They originate in Asia, especially China, which is why one of their names is Chinese Bellflower.
I have one small patch in my garden, and the patch is getting bigger each year. Sometimes they look purple, and sometimes they look more blue.
They get the name balloon flower because the flower buds look like balloons. They eventually pop open and become star-shaped flowers.
The balloon flower is later blooming, so often I think that I’ve lost the plant when I’m cleaning in the spring. You have to be very careful not to dig it up or throw it out thinking that it is a weed.
I especially like looking at closeups of them. You see more detail than you can see with your own eyes, and they are beautiful.
Now therefore, our God,
we thank You, and praise Your glorious Name.
