I've always been intrigued with this flower, but I've never grown it myself unitl this year, when I started a few seeds in a small pot, hanging over my sunflower barrel.

The shade of blue is indescribable! These pictures can't capture how beautiful the flowers are.

Or how much they mean to me.

Wow, those are gorgeous and look so delicate. I can barely grow a beard, so you guys that can grow plants and stuff amaze me. Beautiful!!

I also LOVE flowers that are truly "blue" (as opposed to bluish-purple), but haven't had much luck in the past with "Forget-Me-Nots" - both the annual & perennial types. Like Lobelias - another wonderful "true" blue flowering plant - FMN's don't seem to care much for summer's heat & humidity, regardless of how diligent one waters.

Yours are lovely - I'm envious!!!

Those are just lovely, Lee. And a wonderful tribute to those we want to remember.

Ummm, I spend half my summer trying to kill those things. Obnoxious little buggers.
