Tonight, I was looking through the many photographs I took this summer. When I came upon these two pictures I remembered how surprised I was to see these flowers as I walked through my garden. I don’t remember the potato plants flowering in the past, although they must have. Perhaps I planted a different variety of potato this year, or maybe I was just more aware of my environment.

I tried so hard to get a clearer one but I couldn’t get it with the phone camera. I decided the flower was too exquisite not to share it even though it wasn’t sharp. I’m glad you liked it!

I have never seen them flower either. When I was walking this past week I saw a boxwood flower. I have never seen that either. Hoping this is good news from the Creator.

I have had some volunteer plants show up in my yard that were also very unusual and intriguing. I like your thought that it could be good news from the Creator.
I looked up boxwood flowers. They remind me of flowers I have seen in India, although I’m not sure if it is the same foliage. I will look when I go back this year.

I’m glad there is a possibility that I haven’t been blind! 🙂
A friend gave me these potato starts so I don’t know what kind they are.

I agree. I have learned so many things because of other people’s posts I have read or even from posts I’ve written.

That has been the most common response. I feel relieved to know that others haven’t seen flowers either, at least not ones that are this unusual. This must be a special variety.

Of course, I haven’t seen potato plants since I was a kid, and they were growing in our garden. I remember having to cover them all due to a forecast of frost…
