African Blue. Ascending Lobelia, Lobelia erinus, Hortus Botanicus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
It's Autumn regardless the Latin name of our Ascending Lobelia now so pretty in the Hortus.
The continent of Africa is a large place so you can imagine that both great Carolus Linnaeus (1753) and Curtis's Botanical Magazine (1806) were at odds.. The first claimed Ethiopia as this Lobelia's heritage, the second the Cape of Good Hope. But it delighted me in our very own Hortus.
