My Garden's Got the Blues (And I Love It!): Re: More blue

In response to message posted by CarolWallace:
Yes, blue - sky blue [even the forget-me-not] is so lovely in the garden.

Carol, you mention that it is hard to photo. Today, I have been trying to photograph a clump of Hepatica that has at last taken off. To the naked eye it is as blue as as an unclouded summer's sky, yet when I look at the photo, it appears to have a lot of plum colour in it. I also keep on trying to photo a Salvia that I have forgotten the name of, for the moment, and it will not show the true colour, which is an electric dark blue

And, how about the blue poppy - Meconopsis. M. sheldonii or the more frequently grown M betonicifolia must be true blue because they photograph beautifully

Ceanothus photographs true to colour, both the dark blue and paler ones.
