Welcome! It's Blue Monday! For instructions, just click here.
Many people place the Blue Monday button on the top of their post so that visitors can easily spot it. Another Blue Monday button can be placed on the sidebar of your blog.
Leave a comment for me; I guarantee that I'll visit and leave one for you. Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links and leaving comments.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I had a super Mother's day, and I hope that you did too. After church, Johnny and I went over to our son's house. His oldest daughter and her boyfriend fixed us all dinner, and boy, was it good! I spoke on the phone with Debi and Jane and received several neat gifts. I am so blessed.
Do members of your family get into the
Blue Monday? fun by looking for items of our special color?
My son spotted these gorgeous
Blue Orchids for sale at the Home Depot. Being the well-trained person that he is, he took this shot for our
Blue Monday day.
Notice the price! Normal orchids sell for half as much--around $15.
However, I must say, I think they're worth the money.

Beautiful, but pricey! Now if I could only get my hubby to take some great shots like that when he is out and about! Happy Blue Monday and thanks for hosting!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley
xxoo
Wow that is a vibrant blue. I have never seen a blue orchid, guess thats why they are so pricey.
Happy Blue Monday! Gorgeous flowers!
Those orchids are unique and gorgeous! Perhaps I'll buy it, but just one...

I think orchid is truly a delicate and lovely flower. I do not recall seeing any in this bright blue.
Happy Blue Monday, i like the blue flowers!Blue Monday
Happy Blue Monday Sally *hugs*
I hope you had a very lovely Mother's Day..
Those orchids are beautiful and I have actually never seen any that colour. They are so full and gorgeous. I think that price is fair because around here they are more than $15. to start with. In any case they look worth it.
have a wonderful day
Judi
Good morning Sally, The blue orchids are stunning. I have had orchids and had bad luck with them. And, that was when I lived in Florida. There is a lot to know about raising or taking care of orchids. I would admire them but would not own them. Your son is a sweetie. The photo is very nice.
Wishing you happy days.
Love, Jeanne
Hi Sally, Lovely orchids...I was admiring them in our nursery a few weeks ago!
I think your son taking the picture was "priceless"...lol...Glad you had a wonderful day. Take care, Donnie
Posted under DJ' name. It's not easy to figure out the team part on blogger....lol...
Pretty orchids.
Happy Blue Monday
Beautiful orchids, I've never seen any that blue. Hope your Mother's Day was awesome, have a wonderful Blue Monday ! !
wow! lovely orchids! Happy belated Mother's day to you Sally!
I love orchids at all, but this blue ones are really marvelous. LG Tina
I forgot something - sorry, I´m new here. HAPPY BLUE MONDAY :)
Happy Blue Monday! I left a link to my edible vintage jewelry post. Hugs, Lisa
Happy Blue Monday, Sally. Those are very unusual colors for orchids I think. Very bright and cheery!
Grace
I can tell you that there are over 25,000 species of orchids, and you can read by yourself what the name means, etc.
Those super-blue orchids may seem unnatural, with extra pigments/silicone/steroids or something...
But Mother Nature has many intensely-colored things.
Happy Blue Monday, Sally! :)
Hi Sally!
This is my first Blue Monday party, and I'm totally excited!!
Your blog is awesome!
xxDaniella
How I love those blue orchids! Happy Blue Monday!

I love all the blues today! I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day! For me the work week begins! Happy Blue Monday! Anne
The price is like that over here too Sally that is when I saw some orchids on sale for a dollar last december, I immediately grabbed some. I am happy that they are thriving to live although its my first time to have orchids. Beautiful shot!
Happy blue monday !!!!!
Hi Sally! Glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day! I'm joining you for Blue Monday!! Love flowers and it's funny how our family hops in to help with our Blog parties!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your Son is truly well-trained. These orchids are just striking. Love the deep color. My granddaughters are becoming trained too, the other day one of them said "Is there any thing for yellow or orange, I have something".
Ann
They are lovely. This is my first time to see blue orchids.Yes, they worth the money.
Beautiful blue orchids, Sally! I haven't seen one before..got to go..to Home Depot that is..
Such pretty blue orchids! But then I would expect wonderful orchids down there where you live. Glad you had a great Mother's Day. Hope today is nice for you, too!
~Joy @ Joysweb
Definitely BLUE!
I saw the same at my local supermarket..
as much as I adore the color blue,
I much prefer orchids in their natural colors found in nature..
have a Happy Blue Monday!!
warm sandy hugs!!
Loui♥
Very pretty orchids. I love the color. I get scared when plants cost that much - it's been my experience that the more expensive a plant is, the more likely it will be that I will kill it. Same with fish for the fish tank. I always buy the little feeder fish - they live for years!
Happy Blue Monday, Sally
Hi Sally,
I'm so happy to hear that you had a wonderful Mother's Day. I did too, and incorporated that into my post today. I love your blue orchids!
Have a wonderful week and God bless,
Kathy M.

Glad you had a good Mothers Day. Since all of us had mothers, I think everyone should celebrate it. I never saw orchids like those!
Happy Blue Monday! Thank you Sally for hosting, I'm new at all this, so I saw your Blue party and I had done MD's in my Blue Onion china pattern for my family, so what a better party, right? I love your stunning orchids, I need to grow some. I'm sure you had a winderful MD's. God bless.

Sorry, I have withdrawn my not having blue link to view the owner of the blog. Fact that I respect and follow as she is responsible. My post has all of five images and themes are blue, NOT the dominant color and is in the fundamental parts of the work, But There is blue and has an important function of contrast. If anyone is curious can visit off-topic:

Very nice, I didn't know there a color shard blue for orchids, hehehe
the price can never equate the feeling of the receiver. What a gift!

Lovely Blue orchids...
Happy BM Sally.
The orchids are gorgeous. I would consider buying them at that price if I thought I wouldn't kill them.
