Blue Monday - Blue Flowers!

It's Blue Monday! To participate:

1. Post about something blue on your blog. It can be pretty, ugly, funny, old, or new as long as it's blue. Leave a link to this blog on your post.

2. Place the Blue Monday button on the top of your post so that people can easily spot it. Place another Blue Monday button on the sidebar of your blog.

3. Mr. Linky will be up after midnight. Return here and link in with Mr. Linky by leaving your name and the Permalink to your post. To create a Permalink, click on your Blue Monday post title and copy all the stuff in the http window. It is a longer address so that people can find your post even later in the week--whenever they get a chance to visit.

4. Leave me a comment. Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links. Make someone's day; leave a comment.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A non-blogger who regularly reads my blog sent me these beautiful flowers last BLUE MONDAY. Look at the BLUE! I never knew that God made such pretty BLUE blooms. Can anyone identify them for me?



The note says, "Sally, Happy Blue Monday! Love, Jane"


Thank you, Jane. What a lovely surprise!

    Hi Sally, your flowers are so pretty. I love that vibrant blue. Are those Delphinium? I enlarged the picture and I can't really tell but I have some growing in my yard, they come in dark blue, light blue, white, purple, etc. I think that's what they are but I am not sure. They have a white center just like mine.
    They are very pretty, perfect for blue monday!

    Hi Sally! What a sweet gesture. I bet those are Delphiniums. I would have them growing in my garden this summer, but the bunnies helped themselves to them. Happy Blue Monday! ~ Robyn

    How thoughtful, and how pretty. I'm not sure what they are, either. I was thinking lupine, but looked them up and they don't look like most of the pictures of it.

    What a nice gesture! I am no help in identifying those blue flowers, but it looks like a couple of other bloggers are agreeing on delph---something or other. Anyway, I love the blue color on those flowers.

    Happy Blue Monday!

    Hello Sally...

    Ohhh...what a lovely floral bouquet! Your friend is so sweet! The blue flowers are really a beautiful shade of blue...I would say that they are Delphiniums (but not sure). Thank you for sharing your sweet gift with us and for hosting Blue Monday!

    Have a marvelous Monday, my friend!

    Flowers from friends...always leaves a sweet fragrance in the air. At first they kinda looked like bluebonnets but up close...I'm not sure what they are. Enjoy!

    My first thought was delphinium but I am not sure. They are not exactly like the ones I have seen.

    Beautiful, though. What a thoughtful thing for a friend to do.

    Hello Sally, happy blue monday. What a beautful bouquet of flowers. How sweet of your friend to send them to you. The blue flower is called a blue delphinium, the green is button mums, white roses and the rose color is alstramia (spelled wrong). Have a great week!

    Hi Sally,
    You've been given wonderful Delphiniums!!
    Love having them in the garden... they are delicate flowers which require much attention as they tend to be broken by wind... but they are just terrific both in the beds and indoor! I definitely recommend them.
    I shared something vintage this week...
    Happy Blue Monday!
    Monica.
