Dainty blue flowers on airy stalks hovering over low-growing basal foliage. The ones pictured are seedlings just set a few weeks ago. We expect a bigger display in future years. The round-leaved habit referred to in the botanical name applies only to the basal leaf rosette - the stem leaves, as shown here, are long and thin.
| A contender for longest-flowering award, this plant was still showing off its bells in December |

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
