As ever, a blue poppy.

Libby

Creeping bellflower; photo is from June 22 but I clipped off the spent parts yesterday and there are still blooms on them, plus buds that haven't popped yet. And of course, seedlings everywhere :) Kind of blue-violet.

Cape Plumbago.

A blue thread, what a great idea Nell!

Convolvulus tricolor is the only true blue in my garden at the moment.

Dark blue agapanthus. It is much darker than this appears.

Nothing, in my mind beats out the cape plumbago. It's unfortunately I can only grow it as an annual up here. I did once try to overwinter the plant but without a greenhouse, it wasn't a successful endeavor.

What lovely blues...my favorite garden color.

That's a lovely combination, jovy. What is the white-flowered plant on the right, in the first picture?

Now that the larkspur are done, I've no blues except for plumbago, which isn't quite up to speed yet.

Bossjim1, your plumbago is stunning. Since it's only annual here, I'm lucky if it gets to be a foot and half high.

What cultivar of columbine is that? It's absolutely gorgeous.

And that poppy is a beauty.

This is NOT in my garden, but I wish I had the ceanothus like I saw growing everywhere around Paris, France:

Great! Another chance to show off my delphiniums.

Hi all,
Thanks for the blue thread. I am looking for blues for my garden right now, and the plumbago has captured by heart. Here's something called "Dwarf Plumbago"- sorry, son't know the botanical name.

kristen_flower:
Your pinks & blues bring on a strong felt-sense of Cape Cod, where I spent summers as a child. I noticed it a few weeks ago when you showed your roses with your blue-trimmed house in the background in another thread. Now it's happened again. The intensity is spooky, but the memories are great!

The white flowers in the picture with my plumbago is just a white four o'clock. I also have a Ducher rose bush in that picture.

Tree_Lover - I'm glad my pictures bring back happy memories for you! I'm a long way from Cape Cod though.

Wow--this group knows how to do blue!

Here are some delphiniums. The top two-thirds of this photo are taken up by a huge limb of a very old King apple tree. A few days after the picture was taken, a section of the tree--itself the size of a large tree--came down just beyond the flowers you see here. I'm sure glad I wasn't digging there at the time.

Hi Renee! good to see you over here. : ) That's ceritostigma plumbaginoides. I have it growing in most of my beds. It looks great under roses and hides their occasional bare legs quite well. Blooms in shade and sun - now how can you beat that!

Cameron, we have lots of native ceanothus that bloom blue in CA. I grow Sierra blue, which is a deep blue. Concha is another fabulous one. They don't like summer watering so they're not good in areas that get regular rainfall from May to Oct.

Sue, love your delphs!!!

Love blue, the only blue I have blooming right now is plumbago.

Nice Harvest moon Ech. and Balloon flower combo blooming now in Zone 6:
