Heliotrope

Heliotropium arborescens 'Marine'. I hope I have enough sun to keep this gorgeous annual blooming all summer. Until yesterday, it was thriving in a greenhouse. It's in my living room now, awaiting warmer outdoor temps.

Heliotrope is an interesting word --- a colour, a plant, a reflecting instrument, a mineral, a song ... and more.

Many thanks for dropping by.

@summerfield @digitalrn thanks rick and vikki! yes, they have a vanilla-like scent, not too over-powering.

Stunning ... it looks like a beautiful garland of flowers. What gorgeous colors and amazing lighting you have there. I hope that your summer is "kind" to this little beauty. And hope that your thumb is greener than mine, Anne. Sounds like you don't have a problem tho ... you know ALOT about gardening. I'm learning from you. :)
