Description
I couldn't resist photographing these pretty little blue balloon flower blooms and buds against a blue background. Each blossom is short-lived, but if the plants are dead-headed regularly, they can be showy for quite some time. The buds, from which the plant (Platycodon grandifloras) takes its common name, look like little balloons before they open.

Wonderful! LF (and now I know the name of the flowers I had last summer) :)

Yep, balloon flowers. Caught these at their peak and it was great fun to photograph them. Thanks, Johanna.
