Aptly Named

Don't you think these flowers are named appropriately?  They are balloon flowers!  They are growing several places in my yard.  they start out looking like this.....
 And then open up this way!  A lovely addition to the garden!

    Such a pretty purplish-blue color...and so dainty. You definitely have your variety of flowers out there.
