Beautiful photos and a lovely song to go with them !

How wonderful, my garden is weeks behind yours spritzhenry, even with all the beautiful weather we have been having.

blue-tiful spritz.
I treated my self to a purple V.minor bowels purple. double like this. I do like this blue though.

Are you sure you got that right Sbg ? A bowels purple ? You might want to edit that !! Lol

Sure is a lot of blue but a lovely sight to see and a blue sky as well, a definite bonus......

stunning pics Sprtz,my fave is starry eyes, oops nearly made a bloomer myself then i left the c out of pics lol :o))

Oh Bb - you made me laugh! Do you think Sbg will see and edit it? Glad you did, Joanella!

Thanks, all - I enjoyed looking round the garden for more and more blue flowers! :-))) I like the song, Bb - but the flowers don't make me feel blue.....lol.

i thought it would go with your Rump Bonkersbon!
I can spell just my lap top that carnt :o)))

it is my intention to bring a smile to some one every day. so done that. Tick :o)

Oh no....Sbg...Hoped you had missed that ..bum..... : o )

I did comment on it Bb. Now if I wasnt so tired I do a 'run' of basic jokes. There again I am trying to be a lady haha.

Bit tired myself Sbg...but it doesnt usually stop me...Im no gent but in respect of your efforts to be a lady I will stop there.I dont need much encouragement...lol..Night night !

What a lovely blog, Spritzhenry! And so many beautiful blues in your garden! My favourite colour...Thank you very much for these wonderful pictures! :)

lovely pictures barbara, very pretty :o)

Lovely Blue flowers, a favourite song of mine too (showing my age there!)

"Don't it make my brown eyes BLUE"....... brilliant selection of blue flowers, made me realize I might have lost starry eyes again, enjoyed them Barbara.

Blue is my favourite colour, especially the mauvy side of blue. Lovely photos Spritzhenry. I hope the blue sky lasts a while aswell :o)

Lovely show Spritz :))

I wonder which version of it you like best, Guy Mitchel's or Tommy Steel's. Happy Days. Blue has always been my favourite colour, can't get enough of it. Once at Tatton Park RHS show someone displayed a whole garden of blue and white, it was stunning. I'm glad you've put A. de caen at the top though the Veronica is nice too.....they're all nice. Have you thought of making a 'blue' area in your garden?

Beautiful blues, Spritz !

A gorgeous array of blue Spritz :))

Thanks, folks - glad you enjoyed 'the blues'...:-))

Heron, I suppose it's Guy Mitchell, tho' Tommy Steele's version was a bit 'bouncier'!! Hard to decide without hearing them again!

No - I don't think I have a yearning to dig up the current planting to make a 'blue' border, really, much as I like the colour.

Wow! I really enjoyed that! A particular favourite....'starry eyes'!

Such a lovely selection of 'Blues' in your garden. : o ) )

Gosh all your flowers in bloom already!!! Wow, I only have a couple of tulips at the mo. I reallt liked th Anemone De Caen. Please Spritzhenry what conditions does this lovely plant like. It is fab

So many Gorgeous Blue Plants Spritz :)

Beautiful Spritz. Blue is my favourite flower colour, and you have so many of them, they're gorgeous.
Your plants are way ahead of our's too. Although the sun is out we have a very cold breeze and I don't think the plants like that any more than I do.
Lovely photos, a real treat, thankyou.

my fav colour too ,photo's are really nice,

Thank you, all :-))

Great, they seem to do equally well in pots, or in the soil in semi shade or sun. I planted the corms of all mine in the autumn of each year and they come up faithfully every year at this time. I think you can plant corms now for autumn flowering, too.

Lovely photos Spritz....very heartening!

I think most of us have a spot spot for Blue in the garden,lovely photo's,thanks for sharing them.Also for the laughs on comments
..........................
Sbg..have you been overdoing the purple sprouting broccoli ?and Joanella,note, I wrote "photo's",in case I did the same as you :o)))

As Ringo Starr once said, you gotta pay your dues inf you wanna sing the blues! Looks like you definitely have paid your dues! Breathtaking! I love blue flowers. Stunning array.

You sure are ahead of my garden. I just have some iris and a few hosta's that have broken through the earth. Can't believe you have that many blue flowers. They are beautiful. Can't imagine how many picture you would be showing if you were showing all colors.

All beautiful.

Spritz, Can all the primrose family bloom in the shade? Also do you know if some of them bloom later in the season? Like after the 1st of May which is when I get up to my garden in North Carolina.

you have some lovely blue flowers there..................

Thanks folks for the lovely comments!

Valerie, no, I don't think that all primroses thrive in shade - some certainly do, though. The large flowered bright decorative ones like the sun. Yes, several bloom later on - I have some that are only leaves at the moment, with no sign of flowers yet. - my P. florindae, P. viallii, P. bulleyana plants are like that.

So many beautiful blue flowers.

I was surprised, Carol! I've missed out several, as well!

Reminded me of my favourite old group - yes, the Moody Blues!!! Loved their early music - love your blue flowers.

Great plants you`ve come up trumps again Spritz.

I can think of several songs we could sing - all with 'blue' in the first line - or do you want to stick with 'Moody Blues' songs, Wagger? LOL.

Thanks, Stroller! :-)))

Lovely blog Spritz - beautiful shades & I too remember listening to Guy Mitchell "singin' the blues" as a young lass. My parents had a lot of his music.

We're showing our age here, aren't we! Thanks for the kind comment. :-))

very nice too......:0))

:-)))

I could start with 'Blue Guitar', lol.

Elton John - 'Blue Eyes'...sung to the Omphalodes! :-))))

Rhapsody in Blue to all of them. :-)))

As every one says you have some gorgeous blue"s there I can"t wait for the blue geraniums Amy Doncaster being a favourite.

Mavis - that's one I haven't got! Do please post a photo when it does flower. :-))

Wagger - I think you played your trump card there! LOL.

It is a Sylvaticum it is a really bonny blue with a white eye,I will take a photo for you.

Thank you, Mavis. I'm always on the look-out for 'different' geraniums! :-))

what nice blues, are these flowers that are open right now

Yes - every single one, and there were a few more too!! :-0))

A wonderful, wonderful blog Spritz, and what great banter too! Blue is also my favourite colour, so you made me one happy bunny now I'm eventually catching up with everyone again! :~)))X

Hi Flori - welcome back! Were you feeing 'blue'? Or had your computer 'bluen' up? ;-)

Many thanks Barbara - this is completely inspiring. I really want some blue to lift the cream and yellow. I dont understand why your Corydalis is out and ours is so far behind though. I dont know Ipheion at all - may be a new one to check out!

They grow from bulbs, Sarah. 'Rolf Fiedler' is reputed to be less hardy than some of the others, though.

I'm glad you enjoyed it - did it take your mind off your ankle for a while - I hope?

LOL, have missed your humour Spritz! No, PC fine,just been busy in the garden and then too cream crackered to log in with you all lol!! Am now playing catch-up ha ha :~)) Ps, it's good to be back lol x

Oh, tell me about it, Flori! I came in at 7.45 after a whole afternoon out there. I am ab-so-lute-ly whacked out!

P.S. I'm glad you're back, as well! :-))))

Started to fit the rope light in the Winter Garden last night,hope to get it finished and secured today,so photos should follow soon (fingers crossed!) It got bitterly cold over here yesterday eve, I was almost back to making puddles on the carpet as I defrosted!!! :~(( lol x

Beautiful!

Thanks, Bryony, and welcome to GOY. :-))

Poor Flori - get your winter woollies back on - your shorts and T-shirt are not suitable...yet...LOL.

Guess we are being a bit optimistic thinking Winter is finished with us yet, as it is only April,but it has felt like such a long long Winter...........am investing in a double pair of thermally heated long-johns, as just had a Penguin waddle through my pond lol!!!!

Did you get a photo? lol.

No unfortunately, my zoom got frosted over as I whipped it out of my camera bag, but it must be cold over here, as he still had his wrapper on over his sixpack lol :~))

He must have been Blue with the cold!

Don't know about him Mavis, but I was turning a lovely shade of the blues Spritz has posted here lol!!!

You're unlucky then - it's been a lovely day today! no, not 'very' warm, but I was working outside without a coat or fleece on -and I didn't turn blue!! lol.

Think you Somerset lot are hardier than us wiltshire-ites Spritz! lol :~))

I usually feel the cold - but there wasn't a wind, so it was quite pleasant out there.

The wind was quite nippy here today but if you followed the sun it was fine, I got loads done .I have seen a ladybird a butterfly and a frog I nearly got him with my fork.

Eeeek! I'm glad you didn't, Mavis! Yes - I've seen several butterflies around - a yellow brimstone, a painted lady (I think) and a peacock. Only one ladybird, though. I could do with them - there are greenfly on my plants. Grrr...

I moved him to safety they love to hide under the geraniums so when I need to work there, I keep an eye out for them,I usually make a cuppa and that gives them time to move.

Only just caught up with this blog Spritz, superb pictures as usual. I do like to see blue in the garden.

Thank you - Lovely comment! :-)) By the way, I haven't 'only' got blue flowers - LOL.

Oh I just love your blog .Thanks for sharing the blues in your garden!

Thanks, Nancy-with-the blue-iris! lol. :-)))

Are you sure you haven't taken over your neighbours field Spritz? They are all beautiful!

He wouldn't sell a square inch, Ian - most farmers seem to be like that!

Glad you liked the photos. :-))

Lovely blog Spritz, there may be some here that I want lol. I love your corydalis, I've ordered a blue one from Vicky, hope it's this one:-)

They are all beautiful, Ba - so don't worry if it's not. :-))

i too like blue flowers in the garden.

Take a look at my blue Primula that's just opened today - I just posted a photo of it, Holly! I think you'll like it. :-)))

WOW such a terrific blog, Spritz - I don't know what to say! Especially love the hyacinth and Muscari :o))))))))

What 'are' you up to, Pip? Checking up on my blogs? LOL

(I'm really pleased that you are, to be truthful...) :-))))

Don't remember how I stumbled across this one actually Spritz!! Bit worrying seeing as I only stumbled upon it last night - LOL!

That's OK. There are plenty more if you're feeling bored! Have a trawl through at some point. ;-)
