I actually was on my way to look at Queen Anne's Lace when I saw this on the edge of some property that's for sale in our neighborhood. I love flowers and of course the pale purple caught my eye. I also love the star shape of this flower. I had no clue what the name was but I was surprised to see it posted to Alabama Plant Atlas on facebook. It's a native to South America and in Eastern Australia is considered a noxious weed. It's present in the Southeastern United States, right where I am located. I can't say I remember seeing it very often though but glad it caught my eye. All parts of this plant are poisonous if eaten and toxic to livestock as well. So Heliotrope is to be admired for it's beauty only. Sometimes life can be so fast paced but take sometime and look around you . Discover God's Creation !
