Summer blues
It's being extremely hot and dry in our area, and blue hostas bring some fresh air to the garden. Love plain blues.
Kiwi blue baby. It'a a tough guy with a very good substance.
Halcyon.
Queen Of The Seas. Just a baby.
Blueberry Muffin. A baby also, but the colour is already striking
Blue Tooth. Is'n very popular... How come??? Going to keep it with Prairie Moon.
Smokey Bear.

I've got the summer hosta blues
Comments (17)Found another 'blue' earlier this evening--and taking this pic. at dusk really brought the blue out!! It looks really odd, with the 'Guardian Angel' leaves also in the pic. on the right! The clue, that the color was not tweaked to be more blue, is the edge of the leaf of 'Katie Q' at the upper right and a couple of the leaves of the daylillies! Dusk definitely had an effect on bringing out the 'blues', all over my garden!!! :o) Was really fun snapping pics. in that lighting!!...See MoreSummer Blues Porch T'scape (pic heavy)
Comments (10)Very lovely Jeanne...B&W was my first collecting passion. I love the crisp coolness of this setting. Funny, I've been thinking of doing a Tbscape, and like you, doing a Blue & White theme. I guess like you, must be the Summer Blues! I love the pattern and crackle finish of your plates. Your blue glasses and pretty napkins go perfectly. (nice finds). I like the grouping (very different) of your CP with the firepot and bird, with the blue Vase w/ Hydrangeas and stems off center..the woven mat sets it all of nicely. Everything looks very tranquil - peaceful and cool..also very inspiring..Thanks Jeanne! jane...See MoreEnd of Summer Blues Table
Comments (7)Nana, I like the table and it doesn't make me blue, just the shorter days and chilly nights. The blue color represents my feelings about the end of summer and with that the necessity of putting away my gazebos and outdoor furniture and outdoor decor, the dying of my flower garden and eventual coming of winter. Punk, I have had the gingham plates and the floral goblets for quite a while, just finally got around to using them in a tablescape. I have lots of fall and Halloween decor. I just need the mental acceptance of fall to get them out, LOL I'm still in deep denial. Thanks, Candy...See MoreI'm feelin the Summer Blues (fragrant that is)

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoHi, irawon :) Plain blue and chartreuse or yellow really look great together. This colour combination is perfectly seen on hosta Touch of Class.
I just stole the Mother Nature's idea.
Kiwi Blue baby is small to medium. My plant is only 2 years old, so it looks more like small. By the way it's parent is Halcyon.
zkathy, that's really true. Frankly speaking, I prefer Halcyon even to Bulletproof.
Linda's Garden, yes, me too. It grows quite well for a giant hosta.
koffman99, I wish I could water my garden as often as it needs. But I wisit summerhouse only on weekends. Fortunately it's been raining for two days.
don_in_colorado, I think, you would like it, it's an Olga's hosta. There are several photos at Fransen hosta nursery website.

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoYour Touch of Class is beautiful. Mother nature knows what colour combinations are great and we do well to imitate her. However, there also times when mother nature improves on our designs. I thought Siberian irises would be nice around this bird bath. Mother nature decided that columbines would be a welcome addition.
