The Blue Garden :: Going For It

Forever inspired by our mountains, I am planning on having something blue blooming in our garden at all times. Totally kooky? Probably. But I am obsessed with the color. To prevent me from going over the edge - the garden *will* be peppered with pale pinks, the occasional yellows, as well as oranges and reds from our daylily patch. I promise. But something about having the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background and bits of blue around our land makes for garden symmetry and continuity in my mind. And a sense of serenity.
