Blue Macro Monday, September 16, 2013

Welcome to my post, this week I am linking to

Blue Monday, hosted by Smiling Sally

Macro Monday 2 hosted by Gemma Wiseman

I Heart Macro hosted by Laura

Mandarin Orange Monday hosted by Lorik

Monday Mellow Yellows hosted by Gemma Wiseman

This is a painting done by my son Adam 15 years ago, my photographic skills were not sufficient to eliminate the light fixture from the photo-

This is my newest plant aquisition, Veronica spicata 'Summer Border Blue, it is stiff so doesn't flop like my old Veronica, and is a much more vivid color-
           

It was raining today, look at what the Oxalis does with that-


I've been exploring starting Primulas from seed, this one I started on April 15 and just planted out, it is blooming already-

Thanks for visiting.

or cameras are macro

  1. Hello Hannah,

    I don't believe that I've ever seen this blue bloom before (Summer Border Blue). Thanks for sharing it.

    Happy Blue Monday!

    1. Thanks, Betty. I grew a couple of kinds of Primula from seed last year and they bloomed this year, I was surprised when P. noverna bloomed the same year from seed, especially since the seed was like dust and the seedlings tiny. I planted out the other two I grew this year but they are not showing signs of blooming yet.
