The Imperfect Perennial


Deinanthe caerulea, a Chinese woodland plant, has really interesting blue flowers, but also has its imperfections; the leaves are somewhat rough and coarse, the flowers are slightly small for the leaf size, and the flowers droop, so are not easily viewed. But then, nobody's perfect.

The flower is very pretty~ I tend to like flowers that droop a little. You're right, nobody's perfect:).

One fellow's idea of perfect can be so far from the next fellow's idea... Are these very small? They look it, and I really do like them. :-)
 
Very pretty flower. I had never heard of it.

I've been in IC twice in the past week and both times have forgot to swing by and pick up your extra plants :)
 
Chey & kaicevy... I also forgot to mention that this plant gets kind of rusty looking, so that's another small strike.

shady... the plant is about a foot tall, and the flowers dime-sized.

Moe... If you get up here again, let me know. I still have a couple of pinellias in pots.

Yeah, we can't all be beauty queens. :-p
