The colour blue is difficult to find in the flower world, there are more options for purple and lilac colours.
Borage (Borago officinalis) is one plant with what I would call a true blue flower, Love in a Mist (Nigella damascena) is another.
Thinking of the theory of how colour affects our moods, the colour blue is thought to evoke a sense of either calmness and relaxation or depression (hence the term ‘feeling blue’) or even coldness. I prefer to try to think positively so I like to think the colour blue makes me feel calm. I do love both Borage and Love in a Mist flowers!
Another plant flowering prolifically in my garden at the moment are the Bluebells. Although the word blue is in the name, I always feel they are more purple or even lilac. I know you can also get pink ones, which have long been on my list to acquire.
In the world of colour theory, purple is said to trigger feelings of either joy and inspiration, or oppression. Once again, I’ll choose to take the positives of that one!
Til next time!
