Our drought survivor, Plumbago auriculata is a medicinal herb plant, the name has a root from the Latin word plumbum, meaning lead, because it has some pharmaceutical effects for lead poisoning and is used in India treating wounds, broken bones, and headache (Wikipedia)

I would not know a Plumbago even if I saw one. I think there are none here. They sure are pretty though, love the shade of blue. Your teardrop bottle edit is gorgeous!!! I don't remember you ever having this flower! But I know that is just ME, because I forget most things now.
Plumbago is indigenous to South Africa. It is a very hardy plant... We have a plumbago hedge that needs a haircut on a regular basis. Have a beautiful day!
Such a pretty color and I love the creative editing. Wishing you a nice weekend.
Hello, it is a pretty flower. Love the cool edit and cute Dory! Enjoy your day and happy Memorial Day weekend!

I've been looking for a 'flower' meme since Denise dropped Friday's flowers....cool.
And the plumbago, we had them in Tucson...they're great plants for a dry/drought area!!
I was just about to say Plumbago is indigenous to South Africa and Jandi said it! Your plant is so beautiful, thanks for the info on it. I've always grown lots of these shrubs but never checked to see if they were medicinal!
It sure is pretty! Love the color.
