My granddaughter recently visited Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. If interested, I've furnished the link. You can see her blue coat over her arm.
She took many photographs. I selected these two to show you today. Here is a Bird of Paradise plant blooming. It's a spectacular orange and blue flower.
I'm not sure of the name of this beautiful, blue bush of blooms; perhaps you might be able to identify it for me.
Happy Blue Monday!

Sally, your granddaughter is absolutely adorable, just as pretty as can be. Love those pretty blooms, too.
I want you to know I linked to your post tonight, and I ended up with some weird link. I must have goofed. LOL! Not sure what I did, but I have got to go fix it.
Love you...

Hi Sally, as you can see I am up late as we arrived home from Florida tonight. Our grandson's wedding was beautiful and a happy occasion. However, we are happy to be home again. There are no plans for traveling for a while. We came home to snow and a huge storm coming in overnight and tomorrow. Brrrrr.
Your granddaughter is such a pretty girl. I know she had a lovely time at the Longwood Gardens. Especially since it is winter time. The Bird of Paradise is a beautiful flowering plant. The blue flowers might be Salvia.
We are trying to stay warm. smile.
Warm hugs, Jeanne
Have I told you I love your header. Is this a view from your back yard? Beautiful!!!
Jeanne, again
oh your granddaughter is lovely. The flowers are beautiful too but I don't know the name on the 3rd pic, sorry..hehe.
Happy BM Sally.
Lovely daughter and lovely flowers :)
I think it is Nepeta x faassenii the blue flower and Narcisses the with one, MB
I so love that blue garden and oh that blue flower I wonder what's the name of that.
Your granddaughter is beautiful! Love the Bird of Paradise plant!!
Happy Monday :)
Your granddaughter is a beauty! Love the flowers... Can't help you on the name of the last posie... It's somewhere in my puny, little mind, but I'm unable to "pull it up".... :-)
Warm hugs,

congratulations to your granddaughter.
love the shot on that bird of paradise...really looks like a bird's head w/ a very colorful crown
I love the photo of your granddaughter. Just lovely. That Bird of Paradise is gorgeous but I don't know the other one. I'm ready for spring. Want to try to get together for lunch soon?
Hi Sally!
I love your new header. It reminds me of where my cousin lives in Orlando.
Your granddaughter is lovely. Thank you for sharing some beautiful flowers on this cold winter day. La
Hi Sally, it must be granddaughter day! Lovely shots all the way around! Sharing the re-pourpose of clothes, old into new. Have a great day.
A beautiful granddaughter, and a fantastic place this must be to visit. The blue flowers are beautiful. Looks like spring where you live, we're having around 8" of snow today.

At first I though the blue flowers might be foxglove, but the smaller blooms look more like salvia.

Sally,
Your granddaughter is pretty.
I think those are hyacinth flowers near the wall.
Today is my first time entering Blue Monday. I combined this post with Pink Saturday ... the first two pics are pink, the next few are blue.
Thank you for letting me participate!

Mine is here
Oh pretty and what a sweet girl. Great post. It has been so long since I have done anything like that! I love gardens! Well I was doing a little building since my last Blue Monday post. Come over and see what I have for ya!
Have a great week.
Sherry
Very nice. Visiting a conservatory is one of my favorite ways to leave winter behind for a while.
Your granddaughter has such a lovely smile! Happy Blue Monday!
Sally, Thank you for sponsoring this neat party. I have posted blue shirted volunteers in Savannah's Extreme Home Makeover.
Your grandaughter is very beautiful. I know you are proud of her.
While not as as lovely, the flowers are pretty too.
The flowers are pretty, but your granddaughter is the highlight of this place. I have seen flowers like the tall blues ones, but not sure of their name. You are going to be busy today.
I love the bird of paradise (the pretty blue flower)
Also, if you can take #71 off your list, please do. Somehow I mistakenly got that one on there. It's not the right post! Thanks.
And thanks for allowing us to post. blessings to you and yours and have a wonderful week.
I have always wanted to visit these gardens. My local library often has bus excursions but I don't want to be the youngest on the bus.
Hi Sally, Please check back now. I guess I was in the process when you visited. I did the button first and was in the process of adding the link. My friend at Lazy on Loblolly told me about this am and suggested I place this post on your party.
I think I have it all set up now.
I am your newest follower.
Hugs, Ginger
Thanks for hosting.
Your photos are fabulous! And your grand daughter is gorgeous!
Happy Blue Monday!

What a lovely young woman, Sally. Longwood Gardens is a wonderful place to visit. We never went at this time of year. I was definitely a spring and summer gal. I hope all is well. Blessings...Mary
It looks like a wonderfull place to visit.. I have visited several botanical gardens.
Happy Monday
Beautiful! I've never seen the bird of paradise before. Hope you are well. I must look for some more blues to post.
Hi Miss Sally, Happy New Year... I was going to tell you that I posted BLUEbirds today JUST for you. Glad you saw them....
Several bloggers have posted blogs from Longwood Gardens.. Such a beautiful place--and I hope to go there someday. We went to Biltmore in November and loved it...
You have a gorgeous granddaughter.
Hugs,
Betsy
Lovely photos on a cold winter day!
I would love to have some of those blooms in my garden-gorgeous!
Hi Sally! Oh, what a beautiful grand daughter you have and what a lovely place she visited! Love seeing all of the pretty flowers!
Hope you're doing well and hopefully you're not having any of the bad weather. It's pretty cold here at the moment - about 45'! That's cold for the coast!
Take care and it's always wonderful to hear from you!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia;)
Sally, I am very late in entering but glad to get in on time. Blessings. Debbie
So nice to see Longwood Gardens again, Sally. I went there when I first came to US, early 70's, been a while so it is so nice to see it again. Everything is so beautiful there. Thanks for posting. Your daughter is lovely...Christine
Hi Sally,down under we call the flowers Hollyhocks..Loving your blog..xx
Sally your granddaughter is beautiful as well as those pretty blue flowers. Thank you for visiting me and for your kind comments. I'm getting new glasses which I am hoping will help.
Beautiful blue flowers. The only blue flowers I know are our Texas Bluebonnets. I'm going to plant some in the spring.
