  1. #PlumbagoEuropaea, aka the #commonleadwort, is a plant found in the Mediterranean Basin and Central Asia.

    It’s also 💜-ing #melbourne at the moment!!

    It’s everywhere and blooming with vigour.

    This one is a wild-child… growing in a carpark and very happy indeed. It has spread to around 1.7 metres tall and about 5 metres wide.

    Most of its blooms are full, the petals are shaped and defined with a single indentation along the length of each petal, from the ovary (centre), extending out the to the rounded petal edge.

    The violet colour is consistent and gorgeous.

    #Plumbago here has been a real pleasure this summer (and autumn!).

  2. The #Plumbago, also known as the #commonleadwort, is a plant in the genus Plumbago found in the Mediterranean and Central Asia.

    This post is dedicated to @LifeTimeCooking who I know loves these things!

    Plumbago I read with interest, is a rich source of #flavonoid. This means they contain powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits.

    So it seems these flowers are edible and somewhat healthy if used for decorative purposes on a plate!

  3. This quaint but delightful scene greeted me yesterday evening.

    Even in overcast pre-sunset conditions, the colours of this setting was amazing.

    What do we have here? A #yellowtrumpetflower, gorgeous powder blue #plumbago, joined at the rear, I believe, by a #hibiscus.

    It made my evening.

  4. How dainty and lush are these?

    These gorgeous flowers gave me a sense of calm and serenity.

    They’re #Plumbago, also known as the #commonleadwort and is a plant species in the genus Plumbago found in the Mediterranean and Central Asia.

    #Melbournes weather conditions appear perfect for these beauties atm and I’m glad they came out to play today.
