Did the title worry you? Blue is my favorite color, not my state of mind! When I was new to gardening, I looked and looked for blue flowers. There aren’t very many in the domestic gardening world, which I found to be a bit disappointing. However, there are lots of blues in the wildflower world, a surprising number! Here are 3 I saw over the weekend in Mineral King (and on the way up). There were more, but my camera wasn’t always with me or the road wasn’t safe for a photo shoot at that site.
Penstemmon encompasses many different colors and types, but this one is my favorite!
Languid Ladies are also called Sierra Bluebells; they are profuse this year! Sometimes they come in pink or white, but “whitebells” or “pinkbells” just don’t sound right.
Sierra Forget-me-nots are an unforgettable blue; they are also called Sierra Stickseeds because the seeds stick to your boots. Sometimes they also come in pink.
