I recently visited the San Diego Botanic Garden and photographed the flowers below. I love that garden for the variety of plants I can see there, but it really bugs me to realize only half of them seem to have a label. So I have no idea what the flowers below are. All I can say is, they’re puffy pinkish purple (mostly purple) flowers and their shrub leaves are so light green, they look almost white. This gives a very interesting background to the flowers. If you know what this plant with puffy purple flowers is, please share in the comments section below. Enjoy!

Beautiful! I love the colour.
Thank you! I like it a lot too.
I’ve never seen flowers like that before – especially with white leaves. They make me think of fireworks or coral. I love that last really close up one!
I wish I knew what it was called. I love that botanic garden but labeling only half the plants defeats the purpose of educating its visitors.
Wow! These purple flowers are just gorgeous!
Thank you! I just wish I knew what they were, to satisfy my curiosity.
