Here’s a cutie pie. Heron’s Invoice (Erodium manescavi) is a long-blooming, sun-loving entrance of the border magnificence. It’s also a pleasant rock backyard plant and can reseed a bit of if one is fortunate.

It has been rising right here ever since, slowly increasing its ferny foliage and growing its flowering stems every year.

The flowers are a cool, lilac colour with barely darker veining on the petals.

As soon as the flowers end, the seed pods develop their signature “Heron’s Invoice” look.

However that does not imply the present is over as extra flowers proceed to bloom…

…enhanced by the delicate, ferny foliage.

Right here is my plant a number of weeks in the past:

It is about two ft broad and twelve inches excessive now–it’s mature measurement.

The aforementioned “Heron’s Invoice” seed pods will drop a number of seeds and child vegetation will emerge. Not almost sufficient although, when you ask me.

There you could have it, my plant of the week. Thanks for visiting!
