Blue Lace Flower 
(Didiscus caerulea) This beautiful Australian 
annual Lace Flower grows into an upright, 
very much branched plant of about 2 feet in 
height. Each branch ends in an umbel of 
light sky-blue flowers which spread out in 
an umbrella-like fashion, crowning each shoot 
with a beautiful and delicate head of flowers. 
Each individual bloom in the umbel is car¬ 
ried on a thin and long tube, giving the 
flower-heads a delicate and dainty touch. 
The name Lace Flower is most appropriate 
since the blooms resemble in their quaint 
and artistic arrangement the most delicate ■ 
and dainty lace. Pkt. 10c.
