balloon flower
Puffed bud perennial
Balloon flower is a perennial plant native to East Asia, named for its buds that swell into balloon-like shapes before opening into star-shaped blossoms, typically blue, purple, pink, or white.
Popular in gardens for its distinctive appearance and long bloom period: The balloon flowers finally opened after a week of looking like little inflated pouches.
