Jasione and the Argonauts


This is an image of a jasione flower. No, me neither. We have them growing in pots at the front of the house. I've no idea where they came from, I assume that my wife must have bought and planted them, quite possibly when I was present, but I have no memory of it.

They appear to have a fairly complex lifecycle - a blue flower morphs its shape a couple of times before developing into the green seed head which appears in this image. I have a few images of the earlier phases, which I may post over the coming week.
