True Blues!

Love 'em all Spritz - some lovely shades of blue there.

All fabulous.... I too love the violas.

That Blueberry Ice is lovely - have never seen it before. Will look out for Rozanne too.

Quite a few here that I have not seen before. I particularly like the Aster x frickartii Munch and who could resist the Nigella.

I must see if there are any flax flowers still blooming up in our orchard tomorrow and try to get a photograph - it's the bluest flower I can think of except some of the morning glories, and very similar to your Ceratostigma. Has anyone got a rose "Blue Moon"? My mother had one many, many years ago, and I haven't come across it since.
Wonderful gallery of the blues, Spritz. Love 'em.

Lovely ! Blue is my favourite colour of all.
You've got flowers on your Lirope ! I haven't had any on mine for 7 years - it's disgusting !
Nice to see your Ceratostigma - it's one of my favourite shrubs :o))

what beautiful flowers, especially that Cichorium intybus, and the Eryngium, love in the mist and Catananche

Wow .... that was better than looking through a little book I have which is entirely devoted to blue flowers in the garden! I love those blues in the garden too. They go so well with many other colours & always make a statement. Thanks for putting up all those great photos.

Loved them all, I too am very partial to blue in the garden.

Beautiful Spritz! Lovely blog for jogging my memory! What I mean, is that as I was reading down through it, I kept thinking, 'yes, I have that one too... oh! I'd love that one!... now, where did that one go?' Lol! I'll have to go on a hunt to see what happened to ones that have gone MIA!

i shall look forward to your treasure hunt photos tomorrow libet!!!

I'm glad you all enjoyed my 'blues'. It was amazing to go round with my camera and find so many flowers still hanging on in, considering the time of year!

Hywel, the Liriope you sent me ages ago hasn't flowered either - that's odd, isn't it!

Thank you for this,Spritz..added to my favourites,so I can remember them..and because I love blue as well..you have some stunning plants..love the Aster with 'Rozanne',and the Eryngium..just all so lovely.:o)

all very pretty barbara as usual, love the monks hood, but all are lovely :o))

As blue is my favourite colour it was nice to see all your lovely blue flower's my favourites being the Geranium's of course:-)

Absolutely lovely blues. I too love violas. Ialso love the veiny geraniums and aconited.

I just think the visible veins look great.

Absolutely lovely Spritz, added to my favs as I`m never very good remembering all the names, your blogs are amongst the best when I`m looking for something, not often it can`t be found in your garden, lol.
I too love Violas...

I love them all especially the Geraniums and the Violas;0)

Wow they all look lovely:)

As well as admiring your beautiful blue flowers I shall put this on my favs as future reference.

That's a good idea . . . put this lovely blog on favourites: I do love "blues" too. Not sure I'd want a blue rose - doesn't seem right somehow. I'd not seen a blue Malva before, but love my white and pink ones - hope it does set seed for you Spritz, and it's lovely to see so much still in flower. :))

beautiful blog spritz; some lovely plants still in bloom.

Did I send you a Lirope ? I can't remember lol. Strange it hasn't flowered for you either.
Well they flowered with no trouble in my previous garden. I wonder if it's something to do with the soil. I've decided - I'm going to move them to another spot next year ...

I just love blue flowers in the garden. My garden is closing down now for the winter so there is very little colour. Most flowering plants have moved into the green house.

Thank you all for your lovely comments - I'm so pleased the blog has been helpful to some of you, and enjoyable to others. I do like to know the names of my plants, as you'll have realised by now! LOL.

Hywel, I think we'll both have to speak severely to 'our' Liriope, don't you? :-/

I love chicory flower.......it is a different blue...

Yes, it is. I've got the pink version too, but I prefer the blue one.

I shall certainly do that - lol ;o) But I am also going to move them.
At the moment they are in a shady spot, which is what I thought they'd like. However, when I lived in the old cottage, they grew under a tree on a dry sunny slope, and always flowered. I think they will get put in a similar place for next year.
Do you think you'll try moving yours to a different place aswell Barbara ?

I could do, I think. I have several plants in semi-shade, and one in a sunny place, that all produce flowers. Yours is in shade, so it might do better with more light. We can but try, Hywel!

All my chicory flowers, which grow wild here, grow up in our little wild meadow orchard, in full, hot sunshine, and do rather too well, for my liking. They're taking over!

Ooops! There is a native form in parts of the UK, too - but I don't know how vigorous it is. Hywel has kindly sent me some seeds to try to grow it!

Good luck with them ! Would you let us know how they do please :o)
I've got some for myself aswell ....

Yes, I will. :-))

Thank you :o)

As always love looking round your garden, lots of lovely blue flowers

Thanks, Carol. I was really surprised at how many still had flowers on them!

Nigella is so easy - get a packet of 'Miss Jekyll' because she seeds herself really well. :-))

Just a little TOO easily, Spritz - the lady who sold us her house 6 years ago, grew it, and we still have to pull great bunches of it out of all the flowerbeds each year!

True - but it's colourful and pretty, so I like it! :-)

I love it - I had an unplanned 'mingle' one year when some appeared amongst my pink Dianthus - they did look good together! :-))

I got a packet of Miss Jekyll today and will scatter it in amongst my kniphofia. It should be a nice contrast sprinkled between the red hot pokers.

That sounds lovely. Good for you! :-))

Thank you and Youngdaisydee for the idea.

You're welcome. :-)
