A Blue Blog!

Hmmm, rather alot of blues!
A little trip around the garden with the camera, I thought I would log all my blue flowers! Here is Penstemon ‘Heavenly Blue’
And Nigellas everywhere, maybe I scattered a bit too liberally last year!
This is a new Scabiosa, I think I would calle this pale lilac, not entirely blue!
This lovely geranium came attached to another plant, so no idea what it’s called!
Oh such good value!! This one is Anchusa Azure Dropmore and it’s been flowering for ages.
Foxgloves everywhere, purples, whites and pink ones
And two bushes of Rhapsody in Blue roses, very floriferous!
And here, in my garden at last, my first cornflowers!! Looking forward to more selfseeded ones next year!
And finally, just for fun and this is not in my garden….! These amazing 12’ high Delphiniums which I saw at The Bath & West show last weekend!
Am throwing in a few yellows soon just to balance the blues!!

love all the blue flowers, the Delphiniums are amazing! I did have some! but we went a way for the weekend and when we go back most of my Delphiniums where smashed down. There must have been a storm while we were away, the foxgloves have suffered too!. That will tech me to tie them up more securely next year. :^(

Lovely plants and potos Lulu, so thats where all my Nigellas went. Scattered a whole packet and I have one lonely little plant. Blue I love and I shall have a go with that Anchusa it looks a great plant and quite robust.

Lovely selection of 'The Blues' you have there, Lulu. Isn't 'Rhapsody in Blue' a gorgeous Rose? Just blooms on and on. You've reminded me I have a 'Heavenly Blue' lurking somewhere! Must search for it tomorrow. : o ))
