Fan Flower
Scaevola aemula 'Purple Fan'
(skee-VO-luh) (EM-yoo-luh)
This is a plant that seemed to take the botanical world by
storm several years ago. It doesn’t seem quite s popular now and I am not sure
why. Used as an annual in most climates it is actually a tender perennial.
While it needs water it can thrive in the hottest locations and provide a
ground covering mat of blue flowers. A white form and rarely a pink colored
version is available.
Hailing from the hot and dusty Australian Outback this
flower grows well in containers providing a nice spilling accent in pots. I
have been going through this site and trying to remove some of the broken links
and get it up to date. That is going to take awhile.
Bonus picture! A rather strangely colored version of Sunrise
Coneflower. I don’t know if this is just an anomaly of the season or some
Coneflowers are just revolting against the overbreeding they have been the
subject of.
