This is a happy little flower that just sways with the breeze. Sometimes it’s called the Butterfly Flower because it looks like a tiny butterfly. Closeup it has such pretty shades of blue and violet.

    This little flower has become known as “Annie’s Butterfly”! for some reason they seem to look like butterflies to me (in a flower kind of way). I often call Annie “my butterfly” because she came to me so broken and in a “shell”. after 9.5 years in a horrible puppy mill, she not only made it through, she has come alive in amazing ways. she has now blossomed into an amazing little fur baby. This one’s for you, Annie, my little butterfly!

    WOW! So dainty yet so beautiful. I had never heard of them before. You have some really unique flowers that we don’t get to grow on this side of the country. Thanks for sharing.
