Thanks Jeanette. The name sure is a great match for the shape of the flower pod. The little flowers themselves are just the sweetest things and so often overlooked.

This variety is a very common plant in gardens here. They're very drought hardy and sun hardy. You will very often see them used is roadside plantings done by our Council.
