Platycodon grandiflorus commonly called a balloon flower.

Ysarex, you are indeed one smart fellow.

You have won 2 extra shots of your favorite subject on your next outing. The flowers open fairly quickly, I have thought about setting up the tripod and getting shots of one as it is opening.

Nice shot! Wonderful color.

I'm not going to argue with that but I'm also married to a botanist. I just point at my monitor and say what's this and she says something in Latin and I go look it up. Nice photo.

That's may be considered cheating in some circles, but you still win.
They are very pretty and just before they open they do look just like little purple balloons.

Jeffashman, Thanks
