In My Garden Today - Blue Day

 I noticed a common choice of colour in my wander around my garden today.....

Hydrangea, Native Violet, Petunia, Calibrachoa, Chives, Lobelia, Hydrangea detail.

I've called these Blue Blooms because they are all described as blue on their labels or reference books. I would probably call them all purple though in any other context.

At this time of year there are other blue flowers in bloom: jacarandas, agapanthus, duranta, wild violets and lavender flowers, but sadly not in my garden.
