So much blue...

I have a bunch of blue flowers blooming right now.  Here are most of them.  The first one is a bulb that I dug out of a vacant neighboring yard several years ago.  If you look closely, there is an aphid on one of the blooms.  (Already???)

"Forget-me-nots."  These have the tiniest flowers and  I think they are adorable.  You don't forget them for a couple of reasons:  they are so charming and they reseed themselves.

Veronica "Georgia Blue."

A whole clump of Veronica "Georgia Blue."

Rosemary "Tuscan Blue."  "Tuscan Blue" can get to be six feet tall!  This one is about two-and-a-half feet tall, so it has a ways to go.

Blue Phlox.  I'm sorry I can't remember its botanical name at the moment and I am too lazy to look it up.  Oh, and it's fragrant as well as beautiful.

Ajuga "Chocolate Chip."  Yum!!!

Have a beautiful day!

Phlox divaricata...

I don't think it gets much better than this. Blue and fragrant... This was another one of those plants that attracted me because it was fragrant. Well, that, and blue. There is a picture of it in a previous post, but it has since filled out.




This Blue Phlox is planted at a corner of the east end of my house, but I have great plans to divide it and spread it throughout the hydrangea bed that I am planning to make under the laurel oak near the seating area I am going to build. I think it will be quite stunning to have vast amounts of clouds of fragrant, blue flowers in spring, inter-planted with, of course, large quantities of Muscari - another blue, fragrant flower.

(The spot of yellow is a Primrose that that blooms each spring.)

This morning, Julie picked a small bouquet of it for me. It is sitting on my vanity table, scenting my bedroom. Ah, the pleasures of fragrant ... and blue ... flowers.


Have a beautiful day!
