I Love Blue

I've tried many times to get delphiniums to grow in my garden. Note I say grow, not thrive, not flourish. Just grow. And many times I have failed. This year, perhaps because they are in a large pot on the patio, they have managed to survive until August, a feat unheard of. And not only that, but they are blooming.

I love the startling, eye-binding blue of the Belladona Delph. These are not the stiff, formal flounces of the delphs that are commonly seen. These are looser girls, not afraid to hike their skirts and show a bit of leg. Love that blue.

I have one plant that is loose like that, and pretty short. In fact, you can see a picture of it in the header of my blog. All it said on the label was "miniature delphinium". It's a light blue, but so pretty. I love the blues, too.
