Bloom Day: I've Got the Blues (in a Good Way!)

Amsonia

Brunnera

Spiderwort

It is Garden Blogger's Bloom Day again! On the 15th of each month, we gardeners with blogs share a few bloom photos from our gardens.

Here in the Mid-Atlantic USA (USDA zone 7) on the DC-MD border, spring has been fairly cool. Also, windy - really windy - and a bit dry. Now things seems to have settled down a bit.

This year, I have really noticed the waves of colors in the garden. The first blooms of the year being yellow (winter jasmine, eranthis, etc.), then a wave of whites (star magnolias, alyssum, etc.), then reds (tulips, calycanthus, etc.) now pinks (roses, peonies, etc.) and blues. So I thought I'd share a few "blue" blooms in my garden. Pictured here are Amsonia, Brunnera, and Spiderwort.

In the rest of the garden today,
I have blooming: Wind Anemone, Columbine, Globe Allium, Solomon's Seal, Iris, native Honeysuckle, Roses, Peonies, Clematis, Pansies, Viola, African Daisy, Alyssum, Brunnera,  Euphorbia, Azaleas, Vinca, and much more!

Be sure to follow @WDCgardener on Instagram for daily pics of what is blooming in the garden and area gardens that I visit.

So what is blooming today in YOUR garden?
