Good day, I received this plant one year ago. This summer it has bloomed. The flower took about two weeks to mature to its current state. It is a heliotrope, and I must admit follows quite well. I would like to identify the plant. Any help would be appreciated. It is a very striking flower. Thanks for your help David
I assume you mean your plant is a "heliotrope" in that the flower turns to face the sun? (Note: "Heliotrope" is also a plant name.) Your plant is a scabiosa, probably Scabiosa caucasica.
abgardeneer , you deciphered my request correctly and provide additional knowledge in plant terminology. Thank you for the information. David
