I too love blues in my garden. Blues are bumble bees' favorite too. Have you tried plumbago? Very pretty blue and the great thing is they come back year after year.
I love the Morning Glory on the picket fence. Great photography. I've only see Morning Glory like this in one place around here and it's when I go for one of my walks. It is growing all over a wooden fence about 1/2 mile from our house.
Donna: I've never heard of Plumbago but looked it up, and it's so pretty ! We are in zone 7, and it recommends zone 8B-11 I wonder if it would be OK, I'll give it a try, and thank you ;)
Deanna: Yes, i'm ready for fall also. Thank you for stopping by .
Milah: Does it self seed from volunteers ? I've been told to stay away from the perennial kind.
Kay: Oh glad you like it on the fence. It has just now started rambling, I hope it continues for awhile longer.
Thank you so much for visiting me from Patsy's blog. I have enjoyed visiting with you and I love the morning glory on the fence. How inviting and cozy it looks. You live in a beautiful area and it is a pleasure to "meet" you.
This is my second attempt to leave a comment. The first went to Word Heaven, I suspect. Anyway, after being gone all day, I decided to check your blog, and your earlier commenters have used up all the good words already, so I will just add: DITTO! Love the blues.

Nice to see.

Heavenly Blue Morning Glory is one of my favorite flowers. Mine did not come back this year so I really enjoyed seeing yours.

So beautiful! Thanks for posting those. I love Autumn, but will be sad to see those colors go.
I really like the morning glory, but all of these blues are beautiful.

Bennie and Patsy: I like the blue next to the old pickett fence too.
Becca's Dirt: This is my first year planting the Star Gazer blue, I will try it again next year also.
Andora: Thank you, I'm partial to the blues also.
Mildred: Thank you for stopping by, I hope we visit each other often.
Melissa: Ha, my "Bloody Beautiful Blog" creator...how neat is that !
George: Now if only I could grow roses like you and Betsy, I'd have it made :)
DJan: Sorry, you've been messed about trying to leave a comment, I'm glad you liked the flowers, and let's hope the internet behaves.
Our yard is full of yellows now (roses) --and yours is full of blues. We need to combine the yards!!! That would be neat, wouldn't it????
Have a great Labor Day Weekend.
Hugs,
Betsy
Boy..that blue just jumps out at you doesn't it? I love that color mixed in with the other garden flowers!
Blues/lavender are one of my fave colors! Love the looks of yours.
