Lori 'Blue Lace Flower', or Trachymene coerulea is a native plant of western australia. It grows in the coastal sand. It is an annual and flowers in the early summer. Sometimes the whole area is thick with the plants and it looks spectacularas the flowers are a gorgeous sky blue. It is a member of the carrot family (Apiacea) and when the flowers finish the seeds are held in the flower head so it is quite easy to collect and grow the seeds. I grew them for quite a long time but eventually I forgot to collect the seeds and they died out in my garden. You do get the odd white plant amongst the blue.
