Im particularly fond of blue flowers this is a temperate hybrid lobelia Usually when the summer heat hits it croaks but this year it reseeded

Usually blue flowers tend to be purple or lavender but this one always remains blue .and it flowers a LOT lol gary

We have a very similar Campanula, but more blue. I too am a blue flower lover. Lobelia is also very familiar and a lovely, strong, blue and grown a lot in hanging baskets.

Lovely garyfla. Blue always catches the eye. This is a blue clematis that provided a lovely show for a few years but this year I don't think it's going to make it, a bit too warm for most clems where I now am.

Do you provide your clem. shade for the roots, with a stone?

Yes, Inga, I tried to keep them (I've had a few..., and there's one or two still going) cool. I also planted them deep as the clematis gurus advise, and well fed but they are a bit like cantankerous babies, they DEMAND, virtually full-time, attention. I got a soft spot for 'em though they are so beautiful!
