Plumbago auriculata syn. Plumbago capensis Thunb. (Leadwort) flowers

My short words

The flowers were shining in the sunlight.
The blue petals would remind us of the sky in summer.



Memo

Leadwort tree flowers are in bloom from spring to autumn.
I took this picture in early autumn. So I put this page as Autumn flowering plants.
