A respite in the blue garden

Sandy Underpants said he was heading out to the garden and did I know of any truly blue (not purple pretending to be blue) flowers? I'm no akabini when it comes to gardening, but what came immediately to mind was...


Cornflowers


Forget-me-nots


Blue pansies but buy them bloomed so you know the color for sure


and the garden goddess Akabini knew the latin name for this blue poppy--meconopsis.


Dena adds ceanothus.

Up on Daily Kos there's a nice meditation on not letting the whole political anger thing get in the way of your gardening. When I get to the summer place (blue state!) we'll get ta diggin' in the dirt, and we won't think of Abramoff even once.
