Do like these rogue white ones 🤍 #commelina-dianthifolia #bird-bill-day-flower #grown-from-seed

I've never known there were white ones!!

Lovely to see a white one 🤍🤍🤍

Do love a rogue when they’re this pretty 🤩

🤍🤍🤍

@KariSamuel @hkyfvr @italydiva @godfreye thank you all 😃 I grew the blue ones from seed but this white one randomly appeared a few years later 😜 it has self seeded quite well too, mixed in with the blue. Gotta love a rebel plant 😛

Very welcome 🤍🤍

Snap 💙😂😂

Amazing blue 💙💙

@emch @gjones @hkyfvr thank you ladies 😁 it’s the most perfect blue flower I have. In the right light there’s a turquoise shimmer on the petals too 🤩

@pelly 😛 although yours looks even more blue than mine! 💙💙

Always welcome. Love this blue 💙💙💙

Lucky shot in full sun Kerry 😂

💙💙💙

@godfreye thank you Enid 😁💙

Lots of both colours this year. Still no idea where the white came from 🤔 #commelina-dianthifolia #bird-bill-day-flower #grown-from-seed

The white look so lovely next to the blue 💙🤍💙

So pretty together. Perfection 💙🤍💙

#trueblue

@pelly @hkyfvr @emch @gjones thanks all 😀 they do look lovely together. Hoping for more white to mix in next year 🤞🏻

Very welcome. Sounds good. 🤍💙🤍💙

The white ones came back 😁💙🤍 #commelina-dianthifolia #bird-bill-day-flower #grown-from-seed

🎉🤍🎉

#trueblue

That is awesome Kerry. So pretty together 💙🤍

Your doing well this year a lot of plants survived the winter and came back. What's your secret, did you do something different with the plants over the winter

@pelly so glad they weren’t just a random fluke last year 😛 must mean the seeds grow the white type too because I have more this time! 😁

@emch my most favourite blue flower 💙

@hkyfvr thanks Diane 😁 no idea how I got the white as I’ve never grown it before. But it’s so pretty with the blue 🤍💙

@alan1111 to be honest I did absolutely nothing. I didn’t even cut things back. Maybe that helped protect the plants more. I’ll certainly be trying that again this year 😛

@gjones the 3 petal look is very similar 😛 always puts me in mind of Spiderwort

I wonder if I’ll get any white ones next year 🤔

@gjones 😂 gotta compromise sometimes 😛 it’s funny, they say when plating food to group in 3’s or 5’s and it always looks better. Nature naturally gets it right 😁

💙💙💙 #commelina-dianthifolia #bird-bill-day-flower #grown-from-seed

Oh wow they look like something I’ve got but they don’t call it that …..?? I’ll have a look later

I love this blue. So perfect 💙💙

Gorgeous blue 💙💙💙

That is seriously beautiful 🥰

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom they look like Spiderwort so maybe that?

@gjones thank you Katy 😀

@hkyfvr thank you Diane 😃

@midnightgardener thank you Chris 😄

Never had a white one appear before and didn’t even know they existed 😜 pretty but really odd 😂 #commelina-dianthifolia #bird-bill-day-flower #grown-from-seed

♡♡♡

I didn't know they came in white, will look out for one 🤍

It's very delicate looking 😍

Beautiful 💖💖💖

How are youuu !!!

Very pretty 🌼🌼💛

@KariSamuel thank you Kari 😀

@churchfarmgarden me either 😜 even more strange is this one is a self seeded plant from a definite blue one! So confusing but lovely all the same. Will try save seed and see if they make more white ones 😛

@pelly thanks Jane 😃 was a nice surprise to find it 🤍

@jyotu thank you Jyoty 😄 I’m good thank you 😛 how are you doing?

@midnightgardener thanks Chris 😁

Hi Kerry 👋beautiful little flowers shame they don't last long

Oh my! That’s a stunner! 😍

@gjones this is how they grow

@gjones no problem ☺️

💙✨💙

Loving that!

@DeborahBanks perfect isn’t it 💙 self seeds every year and just gets better 😁

Super blue 😊😊💙💙

Great looking little flower

Oh wow, now that's special 💙💙

Incredible!💙💙💙💘😍

Fabulous colour 💙💙

Gorgeous💙💙💙

Beautiful 💙

Wow! 👌💙

Omg! What a colour! 😯💙

Translucent in the rain 💙

Wow (pow!) 😉😉

@ublaszko 🤣😂🤣

Thats crazy pretty

This is really pretty! Wish I had more luck with annuals. I might just get my first and only California poppy soon 😅

I was wondering what that was I have it myself and didn't have a clue what it was. I've never seen the flowers fully open always manage to miss it 😔

What a beautiful plant! 💙 Never seen it before. It reminds me so much of Tradescantias, are they somehow related?

@heatherdirtyhands thank you Heather 😁 they’re beautiful little things. They’ve self seeded from the first batch I grew 3 summers ago. Get better each year 💙

@ublaszko you’d have no trouble with these, just might end up overrun with them 🤣 one is better than none 😉 can’t wait to see it 😁

Me too!

@alan1111 I’m glad you now know what your plant is 😁 they don’t stay open long do they 🤣 beautiful when they are though

@natii aren’t they fantastic 😋 one of the first seeds I ever tried and they just self seed and cone back every year now. Adore them 💙 and you’re right! I just looked and they’re both part of the commelinaceae family 😁 hadn’t ever noticed how similar they are 🙈

Back again 💙

That is gorgeous @kez001uk

@ultrarose2508 thanks Danielle ☺️ they’re the most beautiful blue and given they self seeded from last year I’m even more pleased with them 😉

I’ve never seen them before 😯 they are stunning 😍 I will be on the look out for these @kez001uk

😲😲💙

@ultrarose2508 I’ve only ever seen seeds, never plants. They’re well worth a try 😁

@ublaszko they’d fit in your wildflower planter. 😉

@columbiariver thank you 😁 they’re tiny flowers but they make a big impact 💙

So pretty

Beautiful 💙

💙💙💙

Gorgeous colour Kerry @kez001uk

Wow, these are gorgeous 💙💙💙

Looks like it’s been glitterbombed!!! 💙 #selfseeded

@kez001uk I used to wear eyeshadow just like that💙

@cal68 it’s pretty isn’t it 😛💙

Stunning colour Kerry @kez001uk

@gjones thank you Katy ☺️

@vinny3000 cheers Gary 😁

@scaryskates thanks Gary 🤣🤣🤣

Wow Kerry that's an amazing colour! @kez001uk

@lilybee thank you 😁

@LyndaClack thanks Lynda 😊 green from seed last year and self seeded 😛

@Jasonsparkes1 thank ya Jason 😋

What a gorgeous blue 💙

@richard.spicer.7906

Nice 💙

Lovely colour 💙

@jeatacake @christineb thank you both 😄

@gjones they’re so tiny but you can’t miss them once they open! 💙

Beautiful Flower Awesome Bleu colour 💙

@AmarAliIshaque thank you ☺️

@ukjohnny thanks John 🙂 so glad it self seeded as I forgot to sow any this year 🤦🏼‍♀️ they’re lovely little things. Long flowering too 😁

@ukjohnny easy to grow and self seed well, you wouldn’t be disappointed with them 😁

@ukjohnny look forward to seeing them 😛

😍👏🏼👏🏼 finally!!!

@richard.spicer.7906 all that for a flower the size of a little fingernail! But it’s a beauty 💙

Only tiny but more than worth the impatient wait 😂 @richard.spicer.7906

Oh that's pretty, I've not heard of this one before 💙💙

@pelly bought the seed without even knowing what they looked like. So glad I did, they’re small but mighty 😀

He needs a neighbour to pop open too 😊💙

@richard.spicer.7906 there’s plenty more on the way but trying not to be quite as impatient with those 😂

Please open already!

@gjones I’m so excited to see them again but they aren’t in any hurry to come out 😜

😂 it will come, Gardeners are so impatient aren’t we 🤣

@richard.spicer.7906 it gets so frustrating though 😂 some plants are nothing one day and then a mass of flowers the next, this is going in reverse 🤣

🙈

@richard.spicer.7906 and after my complaining it’s decided to open today 🤣

@richard.spicer.7906

@richard.spicer.7906

Lovely 💙 looks like quite an intense blue.

@richard.spicer.7906 when there’s a few open at the same time they’re really eye catching. I love the marbled effect on the petals most. They’re quite an unusual flower 💙

Taking so long to open 😴

I had to look this up as not heard of it before. Nice flower 👌🏼

@richard.spicer.7906 I bought seeds last year not knowing what they were, was the first time I grew anything from scratch so just got a bunch of random seeds. These turned out to be a real favourite. Forgot about them until they emerged again a few weeks ago. Obviously great at self seeding! I’ll post a photo from last year and tag you so you can see them 😊

😯 well that came out of nowhere! Tiny blue speckle is going to be a flower soon 💙

@gjones I certainly will 😀 I grew them for the first time last year and were so pretty. Forgot seeds this year but they’ve self seeded in my clematis planter. Was so pleased to see them reappear 💙

Not much yet but can’t wait to see them again 🤗 self seeded too!
