I'm in a blue mood today. Here are some photos spanning from March to August: Iris "Kathrine Hodgkin: Crocus: Primula: Soldanella: Primula auricula: Anemone nemorosa: Meconopsis: Blue Corydalis: Gentiana acaulis: Iris: Mertensia: Geranium "Splish-Splash": Gentiana Makinoi: I've also got a Hosta called "Blue Moon", but I'll spare you the Hosta bit today.
Oh I'm so glad you're in a blue mood today Droopy!! :-D As you know I love blue flowers and so you've fed my addiction well with all those gorgeous photographs. Don't stop there let's see 'blue moon' and then lots of white flowers too.
Thank you Bluewolf and Glenda. The Meconopsis are from the Himalayas, so I guess they'd do fine in your zone. They grow them up in Tromsø, which is north of the Arctic circle, so they're tough plants.
Blue is my favorite Droopy! I love all your Blues...especially the first Iris and the dark Iris. And your Gentiana acaulis is such a striking color. Thanks for sharing
I was stunned to see how much you still have flowering up there, Droopy. I'm down to just a handful of fading blooms. I did notice in one of your pics that you also have quite a few other things blooming as well!...Oh, that just makes me go all green with envy! You'll have to show us more of those other bloomers. I can't get over those "Splish-Splash" geraniums. Mine were gone weeks ago--and yours still are loaded with buds. BTW--which Meconopsis is the one that you featured? It's a beauty.
The irises are to die for Droopy, everything is beautiful, but my favorite is the Meconopsis, I just love that flower.
