Blue flowers - Part 2

This is a continuation of an earlier thread:

http://davesgarden.com/forums/t/710815/

I looked around for some blue flowers in my garden today and found some Lobelia KLM:

I've been so preoccupied with roses that I neglected my search for blue flowers until my poor pretty Campanula trachelium "Bernice" had only one flower left on it. Here it is:

And here's one more Campanula. I'm not sure which one this is.

Zuzu,

Where did you get your Scilla Peruviana? I don't know how I've lived without it.

I buy it locally. Every store around here carries it at a certain time of year. I have seen it on a lot of mail-order nursery Websites, however.

McClure and Zimmerman Bulbs used to offer it.

I just googled it and found it is only hardy to 7. Must be the reason I am living without it.

Have not been following this thread but just flipping thru the pics I see you do not have a picture of a blue Hepatica!
This was taken last year.

And some blue Iris reticulata.

FancyVan, Makes me want to move back to MN (in the summer maybe). Those are all plants from when I was a lot younger. I miss the peonies too, what a great perfume they have. Oh well, 'be happy where you are' my firends say.

Angelonia

Some brunnera accompanied by bleeding hearts

Blue or purple?

Pulmonaria longifolia EB Anderson, wish I had gotten this photo when it was at it's best. It's near the end now.

Muscari, Valerie Finnis - I love this baby blue - this photo is from May 4th

I am glad to see blue. Solanum, can't remember which species. If you go to Plant Piles and try to find this plant you will find 12 pages of potatos with other species thrown onto the pile at random, what a mess. I just get bored looking a potato names. Here try it> http://davesgarden.com/pf/adv_search.php?searcher%5Bcommon%5D=&searcher%5Bfamily%5D=&searcher%5Bgenus%5D=solanum&searcher%5Bspecies%5D=&searcher%5Bcultivar%5D=&searcher%5Bhybridizer%5D=&search_prefs%5Bsort_by%5D=rating&images_prefs=both&Search=Search

Potatoes make me blue>

I am a big fan of containers

Dale,

What is that blue flowered tree?

Penne, Jacaranda.

I had to check the plant files for the Jacaranda, since I had never seen one before. They are beautiful. Unfortunately, Virginia is too cold for them.

Yep, it is a z10 tree.

Here are my Virginia Bluebells:

I know this is an annual, but here is my lobelia:

Another blue annual, Bachelor's button, grown from seed:

Here's Glory of the Snow:

Bearded iris:

Here is Lithodora 'Heavenly Blue' new for me this year blooming behind Iris Album tectorum. It has vibrant blue flowers in spring on a low growing 6" to 12" high with woolly dark green foliage and it likes acidic soil and planted in full sun with sharp drainage or so I have been told. Patti

Hi all,
I ran through these threads looking for blue flowers that I don't have growing here, and noticed a few common reliable ones haven't been posted yet. Here are a few:
Heavenly Blue MG

Veronica 'Sunny Border Blue'

Passion Flower (Passiflora):

Salvia 'May Night' (with coral bells)

Vitex

Pickerel weed:

Centaurea montana:

Duranta 'Sapphire Showers' (potted plant for me in zone 6):

Platycodon 'Sentimental Blue'

One last picture, not really blue, sort of purple....

Thanks for all the photos that others posted. This makes a great resource thread for those gardeners looking for ideas.
Toxi

Achimenes 'Magic Blue':

Oops, I lied.....forgot this one.
Evolvulus 'Blue Daze'

Dale, that Jacaranda is magnificent! Think I could grow one in a pot? ha.

Looks like I really should get some pulmonaria.

I love the campanulas, but they don't do well here for some reason. I just spent $7.44 on another one in a tiny pot and I guess it will die too. Sigh.

Have a nice holiday weekend!

Butterfly Blue Scabiosa has been blooming about a week now and will keep on blooming until the first hard frost in Oct or Nov. My longest blooming perennial.
