I'm in awe of all those wonderful blues growing in your gardens. I really loved that white spiderwort too. I've never seen the colors of spiderwort that you have. Mine is a purple/blue.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing all this beauty with us.<br /><br />FlowerLadyFlowerLady Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17678852154334714784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-5841999378167297272011-03-20T02:13:30.699-04:002011-03-20T02:13:30.699-04:00Ah, no..there's nothing sad about blue.

It's soothingly beautiful, and blue sky, as you say, is glorious, especially with apple blossoms against it.<br />I want to add Amsonia and Phlox divaricata to my garden. They're both so lovely. All your blues are! I haven't found a good spot for spiderwort yet where it doesn't take over. It looks so natural and pretty in your garden. <br />I can see why you find V. Bluebells so endearing. They're lovely with that soft blue and a touch of pink.<br />And your blue irises are absolutely stunning. I need to add more of those too!<br />Beautiful post!Kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18362584475435433892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-71947428398176635342011-03-14T17:12:54.677-04:002011-03-14T17:12:54.677-04:00Blue can be soothing, peaceful, or soul-deep, but ...Blue can be soothing, peaceful, or soul-deep, but to me it's not a sad color.

Blue is such a beautiful color . . . a cool color but so lovely especially in the garden and sky! Now you have me really wondering. You also share some of my favorite blue flowers in this lovely post. I love the Virginia Bluebells from the minute they begin to form and show there lovely blue and lavender colors. Your portrait is just stunning and with the dotted blues in the background . . . lovely!! All of your images are beautiful and such welcome blues to this northern gardener looking out on white.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067132532095325169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-85872892862867632782011-03-13T09:58:54.329-04:002011-03-13T09:58:54.329-04:00Blue is my favorite color, Sweetbay, so these beau...Blue is my favorite color, Sweetbay, so these beautiful photos are even more appealing to me. I think blue is so soothing--how could you not look at these lovely blooms and not feel happy?

They are really enchanting and to have all those blues in a garden will really make my life truly fulfilled. My disappointment is that we dont have many blue flowers in the tropics, although we have beatiful blue Vanda (in my 2nd to the last post).Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-8955578652825354832011-03-11T19:34:53.239-05:002011-03-11T19:34:53.239-05:00I'm glad you noted these pictures were from pr...I'm glad you noted these pictures were from previous years, not this spring (yet), otherwise I might have simply killed myself thinking your spring was so far ahead!
