#PlumbagoEuropaea, aka the #commonleadwort, is a plant found in the Mediterranean Basin and Central Asia.
It’s also 💜-ing #melbourne at the moment!!
It’s everywhere and blooming with vigour.
This one is a wild-child… growing in a carpark and very happy indeed. It has spread to around 1.7 metres tall and about 5 metres wide.
Most of its blooms are full, the petals are shaped and defined with a single indentation along the length of each petal, from the ovary (centre), extending out the to the rounded petal edge.
The violet colour is consistent and gorgeous.
#Plumbago here has been a real pleasure this summer (and autumn!).

The #Plumbago, also known as the #commonleadwort, is a plant in the genus Plumbago found in the Mediterranean and Central Asia.
This post is dedicated to @LifeTimeCooking who I know loves these things!
Plumbago I read with interest, is a rich source of #flavonoid. This means they contain powerful antioxidants with anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits.
So it seems these flowers are edible and somewhat healthy if used for decorative purposes on a plate!

#Melbournes weather conditions appear perfect for these beauties atm and I’m glad they came out to play today.
