Heavenly Blue

The camera doesn’t capture the BLUE in these flowers but, believe it, they were Vibrant!

These were at Arlington Court National Trust.  I didn’t even attempt to paint them, I couldn’t have done them justice, they were so lovely - Nature does best.  

Those of you who follow on Facebook will have seen I posted the photo there, even though I had no clue what they were called.  Thankfully a friend gave me the name, Heavenly Blue. Wonder what the Latin is? I will look it up in google later, but for now here’s the photo…

They are a lovely blue Ann.
I'm really pleased with my cornflowers especially as they were sown from a packet of seeds I was given free last year.

Eileen…..I love cornflowers, you must be green fingered to grow them from seeds 👏🪴

Marie….Thanks Marie. I’ll be over in the gardens at Arlington Court next week, hope to get some more photos 📸

They are so beautiful. In Latin maybe Azure Caeli? My guess.

CJ……I love the Latin names for plants, makes them sound so exotic. Perhaps I could get away with Azure Ann? 🧐🙂👍
