BLUE THOU ART, INTENSELY BLUE;
FLOWER, WHENCE CAME THY DAZZLING HUE?
James Montgomery (1771-1854)
Of all the flowers I take pictures of, I have to admit that my favorite ones are of the color blue. From the turquoise Blue Poppy to the deep blue Delphinium, I am instantly drawn to their heavenly essence. There is something about a blue flower that makes it seem more unique than all the others, if that’s possible. What do you think? What is the curious mystique about a blue flower?

You are drawn to their heavenly essence because you are of their heavenly essence.
Very well put! I concur!
These blues are a delight to see.
I think it’s because there’s a part of us that finds blue flowers unexpected. I remember seeing the blue poppies for the first time a couple of years ago (thanks to your blog pointing me in the right direction) and they boggled my mind (and continue to do so).
That’s a very good thought, LaNae! I don’t know why we are surprised when we see blue flowers, but I agree with your comment whole-heartedly. Thanks for joining in the conversation!
Lovely blue colour to the eyes! The poem says it all… thanks for sharing your beautiful photos, Peggy. 🙂
Thank you, Iris! Glad you enjoyed the blue flowers!
Perhaps it’s because it’s my favorite color (and yours?) But as in a previous comment, there don’t seem to be as many blossoms in that vivid blue. That makes them special.
Blue is a favorite color of many. It’s very calming. And true, there aren’t a lot of flowers in a true blue color. You made some good points, Gunta! Thanks for your feedback!
