Thank you TT, I am trying to get more blue into my garden. This is the only blue I have right now.

Ths shade of blue is very hard to find in the plant kingdom, that's what makes it such a treat to see....:-) See if you can find a packet of annual Chinese forget-me-not seeds ,(the packet may say Cynoglossum amabile) at your local garden center this fall. They are a very rare shade of baby blue, you'll love them.

I love this shade I have been growing a blue hibiscus but its not big enough to photo as Ive been pruning it alot so as to take cuttings.

I agree, it is a beautiful colour to have in your garden.

Ay 1st glance (without my glasses) I thought it was one of the new Impatiens, recently discovered I bought some from the plant breeder but they seem to have perished last winter.

That is too bad you lost them. Sounds very pretty.
