Description

Butterfly Gaura flowers are some of my very favorite flowers that I TRY to grow in my garden in Ohio. I say try, because, I really do seem to be missing any shade of green thumb when it comes to this plant! I love the long flowing arms of these plants that reach high and bend low, waving in the breeze with delicate pink and white blossoms.

Gaura is a genus of flowering plants in the family Onagraceae, native to North America. This genus includes many species known commonly as beeblossoms. I think this particular flower is a Gaura lindheimeri. Other common names include; Wandflower, Whirling Butterflies and bee blossom.

They can be annual, biennial or perennial herbaceous plants. They are considered hardy and drought-tolerant. When researching these plants, you will find that most are perennials with sturdy rhizomes, often forming dense thickets, crowding or shading out other plant species, according to the literature. The flowers have four (rarely three) petals; they are zygomorphic, with all the petals directed somewhat upwards. The fruit is an indehiscent nut-like body containing reddish-brown seeds. It reproduces via seeds and also by rhizome growth. There are some who consider this an invasive plant, but I have yet to experience that, and so I still enjoy seeing the blooms . . . and am willing to buy new plants just about every year so I can do just that!

I really appreciate you taking time to look at my artwork. Thank you so much!

I am very concerned with our environment and have decided to donate any money I make from any sales of this image to the ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENSE FUND.....because the Earth needs a good lawyer! We all need to speak up and support efforts to protect our environment. We will not get a second chance!
