A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Gardener's Chat Blue Flowers of 2009 continues

Blooms are just beginning I'm still looking for Blue flowers,, I need to go find some blue violets for the fairy children,, they sat by them all last spring and summer,, I hope I find them soon or another small fairy like Blue flower

I'd Love to see your blue flowers,
I know Dodge had some last year

Dodge has some beautiful hyacinths that are a kind of purpley blue. You can see them at

do you really only need the photo???
Because I have a whole bed of them--but it is too early here to send you a plant/root----which are you interested in, my friend???

Oh my goodness Carol What do you have?? Anything that is a blue perennial What a sweet heart you are

Diane:
Below are 2 photos of my violets--they were originally wild--when my girls were small I would transplant as many as possible from my yard to my beds along the house in the spring. When we moved, I took enough of the violets with me to put in this bed---so while they are wild they are not only a few are nice sized as of now--but I can send waht I have----if someone will tell me how-----
As you can see it is pretty small yet----a few weeks would make all the difference/


The second picture here is one from the yard---I show you this to show you how it will look, color-wise when it is in full bloom---is this what you are looking for???--although the top is possibly more true to color>>>

Scilla siberica,or siberian squill, shown here with early daffodils, is as blue
as flowers get.

(click picture for a closer look, and once more for full screen size.)

They're in the front yard and are taking over. Violets will show up in a couple of weeks. It's like, you know, a grassless yard,because the violets completely cover the ground. Not sure if they'll grow in Grand Prairie, though, but they do spread from seeds as well as multiply bulbs.

WOWWWWWWWW That Looks Awesome Neko! Yes they will grow here

this is actually lavender in person but it looks blue through the lens

awesome Sheri

Gorgeous Sheri!

Here is a Red, White, and Blue pic I took the other day.

Indeed it is......Blow it up and put it on your wall.

Cool Sheri

Is that hydrangia or something?

I threw mine away, bloom only once in 7 years..

that 2nd one is a hydrangea. I have 2 of the same color.

I didn't realize that spiderwort blooms more than once but mine are blooming again

beautiful, Sheri!!!

Is your spiderwort a purple?

I had one and it was blue i thought //

Very nice.............Your collection must be vast also>.......

it is between blue and purple. Do you have some? I was told it was a weed and to pull it up but I never did.

I had mine planted from seed ..It finally quit an I replaced it with a nice Hosta...

No I dont have it ......dont want it.. Another friend here in pa gave me a nice purple or blue, she said it is a Salvia ....And it it now blooming and I am waiting to see if I like it as well as my Red salvias........I also have a burgandy salvia.And a nymph salvia......

Now I see seeds in a catalog for Salvia has red /white mix bloom.
I am hunting that one..

Just got an order from Jungs last week.. Sale......

2 Bridals Wreath bushes
1 peppermint stick spearil

1 goats beard
1 new type of astibile
1 fancy daisy........for my red white blue bed

I am finding it cheaper to order after June , than swapping ..LOL
Our postoffice is ripping me off..
b

I didn't think of that dodge but it is probably cheaper to order than to swap. One price for a whole bunch of stuff instead of sending out a bunch of swaps.

Diane wow, pretty blue.....I like it ..

Hey my hoya is getting spurs again.. tee hee.

b

So pretty and soft looking Diane!

very pretty flowers Diane--and the picture was so well taken too.

pretty Diane.

I 2nd the motion.......That is a pleasant blue.

b

blue pansy

so do you have it dated on the picture??

VERY pretty indeed

Pretty blue pansy I rarely see a blue one

I don't have it dated. I haven't set my camera up for that. I have them dated in my albums.

I have to admit Diane, in real life it isn't that exact shade of blue. I can never get blue to come out the right color in a picture.

yes But it's Blue! That's exciting. I see purple here,, yellow, rust, but rarely blue,, nurserys say they always go first,,,, Of course they are purchased by those that can go shopping during regular business hours,, I told my nursery they should hold a couple of skids of the blue ones until after 5

Thorn said our cameras will never see blue right ??/I think in flowers only?

I am fortunate in that I work from 7AM to 2:30PM but I actually bought those on a Saturday morning at a place that usually sells to construction and big landscaping companies. They have 2 days a year where they open to the public but at wholesale prices. Cool huh
