Thanks, CG and Funkysmell. Sylvana, that is exactly what I thought! The balloon name comes from the shape of the flower just before it opens--it is round like a balloon. Strange, I know.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
First off...LOVE how you posted the picture. The star within the star is so cool. I love the color of that flower. Reminds me of the heavenly blue MG.
