Balloon Flower

I met my daughter in the park for late breakfast as they stop at midday. It was still raining so I had my umbrella. We went back to my daughter’s place and then out to the local cafe for an ice cream and coffee. They sell best ice cream. The sun came out while we were sitting outside the cafe and it was quite hot again. This plant was on our table and my daughter also has one in her garden. In Ancient Greek it was called Platycodon grandiflorus ‘wide’ ‘bell’. Found in East Asia. Known as Balloon Flower or Chinese Bell Flower.
