This little gem is a new one to me this year! It's called a Fountain flower. The heat has dissipated many of its blooms, but when it was full, there were little sprays of these flowers on a spike! Very neat! The pistils are fairly long and the color of the flower really has more depth that just isn't showing well here. I am planning to try some of these on the pink block I just posted. We'll see! :_)
