Dolphin flower varieties

Blue butterfly dolphin flower

This is the most common dolphin flower on the market, with petals in a blue-purple color. Its color fades in sunlight, and if placed in complete shade the color becomes very pale, which affects its ornamental effect, so it is best placed somewhere with diffused light.   

White butterfly dolphin flower

The second largest variety on the market, a very pure color; the petals are white overall, but the edges have a ring of blue-purple, like a border.

Blue Angel small dolphin flower

Compared with the two varieties above, the small dolphin flower's leaves are rounder and its flower color is paler.
