As you can see, they have five petals, all coming together in a white, inner ring. The blossoms grow on long stalks, and range in color from light blue to purple. That's one reason I like these beautiful bolts so much - those are some of my favorite colors!
It is unique in that it is not as bell-shaped as most other flowers in its group. It's scientific name, Campulastrum americana, is taken from the Latin "campana", which means "bell".
They really are pretty little flowers :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah. I think so too, and I really like the fact that they are an American original.
