Blue on Blue

As spring advances the flowers in my garden move from the white snowflakes and narcissi towards shades of blue.

There are ipheions

 

and grape hyacinths

 

the first bluebells have appeared

 

there’s even a blue sweet pea

All these flowers made me think of the song by Bobbie Vinton, whom I saw live in Auckland many moons ago when he toured with Gene Pitney.  It’s a sad song, not at all suitable for the hopeful season of spring.

Blossoms are also starting to open.  Soon my garden will go from blue to pink.

Spring goes from white to blue to pink
with roses soon to come I think.
