Purple Balloon Flower

This is the Balloon flower which I blipped last Thursday; it has now opened and kind blippers have identified it as a Balloon flower; thank you. It is difficult to get a straight on shot of this without standing or falling in the pond!

I am on Grandma duties again today, but the Olympics are keeping us all occupied. The weather cannot make up its mind what to do, some sunshine, but also windy and it keeps clouding over.
