While the hellebores outside were experiencing snow on February 28th…
The Tweedia (Oxypetalum coeruleum) indoors was also preparing to bloom. And now it has…
The single flower is like a little blue star. And there is a second one in bud.
This is a nice surprise, since I didn’t expect to see blooms before summer.

It is! I hope to grow some plants from seed and test their winter survival.

That’s the one you bought at the plant show last August, right? So glad that it bloomed for you.

That’s the one. It’s been living inside since fall, and managed to ripen 3 seed pods from last summer’s flowers. So I’m going to grow some extra plants and see if they’ll survive the winter. Didn’t want to take a chance when I had only the one.

Thanks, Suzanne. I think the plant is quite a bit larger in its native areas in South America, but I’m thrilled to see it bloom in my house right now.

What a pretty and unusual flower to see, I’ve not see this kind, nor this blue petal and blue center, how exciting!

It was new to me when I saw it at a plant sale last year. I love blue flowers so bought the plant and then found out more about it.

Is it an indoor plant?

It is right now. I’ll move it outside when the weather warms up. It’s native to parts of South America and can’t handle frost. I understand it may survive winters in some spots in Zone 8, but I didn’t want to take a chance while it was the only plant I have. I plan to grow some extras from the seeds it produced and see how those will do outside year round. Eventually. (One of the gardener’s favourite words.)
