I love blue flowers, although it's hard to find a true blue instead of purple sometimes. I'll have more blues to add later in the season, but this is all I have right now. Feel free to add your "blues" here, you might give me some new ideas! Blue Flax 'Stairway to Heaven' Blue Stars (Amsonia tabernaemontana)
Several years ago I had blue flax planted near my spruce tree and shasta daisies. ( photo / image / picture from donm's Garden ) I have a Spanish bluebell that started blooming this week. ( photo / image / picture from donm's Garden ) Don

Very pretty BLUES I also have that Amsonia - have tried for so long with seeds and I have 3 plants now. I hope they bloom... Blue ROCKS!
I like blue in the garden as well, PL. Your selection is here really are impressive to see. I especially like that "Stairway To Heaven" iris. I have seen that one in other folks' gardens. It is remarkable to see, and thus such a good addition to one's garden. Your eye for beauty is equal to your musical talents, it would appear.
