Hello everyone,
We had some April showers here yesterday,
to bring on those May flowers that we look
forward to each year.
A tour around the garden yesterday revealed
some spring bulbs poking up in several beds.
But moving on with our garden blues theme~
Although lupins grow wild here on the Island
I enjoy having some in the garden as well.
Not all of my garden blues are plants.
The old shed above adds color and interest
all year long.
I love the tall stately spires of these deep
blue delphiniums.
Each spring I divide my delphiniums and
move them around the garden.
in the spring and are a nice filler in
the beds with spring bulbs.
I couldn't resist another lupin
shot with the evening light and
the peonies in the background.
I love this french blue color
in the garden as it gives a nice
pop of color.
When I was looking through my
photos for blues this one jumped
out at me.....sometimes all you
need is a pretty blue tablecloth
and some blue china amid the
greenery.
Blue six hills giant nepeta in
the background can resemble
lavender from a distance.
I painted the old ladder the same
blue as the arbors above.
A pretty combo of blue lupins,
and Thor spirea and a Wine & Roses
Spirea.
I love clematis in the garden and
have several varieties. This one is
Jackmanni superbra.
Well, I could probably keep you
here all day singing the garden blues,
but the sun is shining and it is time to
get out in the garden and see what early
spring clean up chores I can do.
Thanks for visiting,
Carolyn
