In actuality... its my Hydrangeas that are blue.
Be assured...we are all very happy.
I am lucky enough to live in an area where the soil makes my hydrangeas blue naturally. I don't know the names of but one of the hydrangeas in this post. I photographed them for this post because they were the bluest in my garden. Since I don't know their official names, I want to name them myself.
Of course they won't be the real name...just nick names. Bluesy nicknames.
Nickname: Gertrude Rainey seems apropos, bigger than life.
Nickname: Victoria Spivey
Nickname: Howlin' Wolf
aka Chester Arthur Brooks
Nickname: Muddy Waters
Nickname: Robert Johnson
The myth is that he was so good, he must have made a pact with and gotten his guitar tuned by the devil himself.
Its so heavy with flowers the branches are arching to the ground. Doesn't 'Endless Summer' seem too light hearted a name for this Hydrangea now? I need a bluesy nickname.
How about? Willie Dixon "The Blues are the roots; everything else is the fruits"

The hydrangea photos are beautiful - and how clever to come up with "bluesy" names for them all! Love it.
Your Hydrangeas are so pretty. My mom has a blue Hydrangea and some of the blooms are a light purple also. It looks really neat when it is in full bloom. Thank you for visiting our blog. We hope you stop by again.
