Name that flower
 

There are a lot of these near the Lake Sumter cottages for the previews.
There are bush daisies near them , but these are blue. Mrs JohnN calls 'em a bluish-purple bush daisy, but we know it's not.

Any thoughts?

Is it cone flower? Echinecea?

is it Plumbago?

Are you pulling our leg again 07? Plumbago? Is that a Poincettia with arthritis????

Now, Gracie, if I had called it the Lumbago Tree you woulda known it was a bad joke. :boxing2:

But, alas, Plumbago is for real and a common flowering plant in this area.

Here ya go:

I don't care what Wikipedia says.

I don't believe you.

What kind of name is that for a flower. Plumbago.:ohdear:

Villages07, girl , you ARE good. It is a Plumbago. We now own a couple of 'em.

How do you do that? LOL.. thanks, John

If you don't like plumbago Gracie you could call it by its other name....leadwort. Pretty little flower, terrible names.
