Beautiful pictures, all of you. I never knew there were so many that are blue.
Zuzu - I have Multi Blue, too!
Don't you love it, Pirl? I just bought two more.
Zuzu--Is it pretty hot where you are? I've tried a couple of times to grow clematis, but neither of them lived. I wonder if it was the heat.
We have a lot of days when it's over 100 degrees, but we have really low humidity here.
Did you keep the roots shaded? Mine would drop dead right away if they didn't have shade on their roots. I usually plant them in the same hole with a climbing rose. The rose shades the bottom of the Clematis.
Yes, Zuzu, I love it.
Diane - most people won't plant them deep enough, leading to almost certain death. I doubt if it's the heat since JasperDale grows them in Long Beach, CA.
yes, but do we really know what his look like? lol just kidding, jd! i want blues. i say that every year.
Debi - Feb. 23rd, same spot as above, which was photographed July 16th.
JD! He's sound asleep. I'll ask him to post some photos of his blues and his clematis.
yikes, i get teeth-chatters just looking at that picture.........!
Hold everything !!! I WANT that blue verbena...and I want it NOW !!! LOL
With the exception of the blue rhodies, Zuzu and I have appear to have the same blue flowering plants.
My Will Goodwin Clematis isn't blooming yet...it's more of a lavendery blue (is that a word? )
I'm glad Zuzu mentioned "Heliophylla"...it is a great annual that does reseed...
I always plant lots of blue lobelia...it's great for freebies (seedlings) and you can always count on it to perform splendidly.
I knew that about shading the roots, but not about planting too shallowly (is that a word?). I don't remember now what I planted with them to shade the roots, but evidently I did something wrong. I'd sure love to try again, as they are some of the prettiest things around and have so many variations. It is so humid here sometimes that it's like walking around in soup. I need to talk to other gardeners and see if they have any success with clematis. I don't see many of them in the garden shops.
Okay, I won't to play...lol here are my stokes asters, they come back with strong flowering habits every year...they make great border plants too...
very blue iris....I don't know it's name, but it is a nice blue and shows up well in the garden!
Those are really pretty. Are they blooming now?
Blue Silverado TB Iris...
Not yet, these are from lasts season's pics...my Iris are just beginning to start blooming, I have a Red Zinger blooming now, and I had a couple of heirlooms that are done already....but the Siberian, and Louisiana and most of the other beardered are not in bloom yet...a few more weeks and we should be! I do have blue Columbine blooming, I will take a picture of that one today!
Thank you, Zuzu, for starting this thread! Haven't seen a blue I didn't like.
Janet's gorgeous "very blue iris" reminded me of a pale blue one we have:
Here is a picture of Ceasar's Brother...nice blue one...Pirl your does look like mine, what is the name do you know? Same shape for sure! I will have to check more pictures and see if my blue is closer to yours....
Blue Columbine...very blue...I have another that is more of a purple too..
Here is another of the blue Iris like you have Pirl...is this more the color you have...I don't know which camera I took the pictures with, but sometimes they show more blue than others...
Here is a different one that is a nice blue as well...
one more and I will stop..lol this is a picture of some heirlooms I have, they are huge this year, and haven't bloomed yet, but I am hoping for a very nice show!!!
Janet - I'm sorry but there was no name on the package.
No problem sweetie, that is just the closest to what I have that anyone has posted, LOL it is a beauty too!!
Oh, did it by any change say what type of Iris they are? Siberian?
By the roots, when I dug it up to move it, I'd guess it's Louisiana.
Thanks, pirl...that was going to be my next question !
Clematis, Macropetala Blue
Thanks Pirl, good to know...I have given some to other gardeners, but didn't really pay attention to the roots when I dug them..lol will check them out next time though...
Clematis, "Fujimusume"
Bluish flowers from "Stairway to Heaven"
Shirley - your clematis are heavenly. Do you have a favorite nursery?
New England Asters.
Here are pictures of my Ajuga today..it looks great!
