For years, I have loved blue bachelor buttons, In fact, I had them special ordered for my wedding bouquet, and bachelor buttons are among the earliest flowers to bloom in my garden. And just as the bachelor buttons are beginning to die, my blue comfrey takes the stage:

One of the final flushes of blue in my garden are my Heavenly Blue Morning Glories.

But my morning glories do not bloom until August, This year, I am adding more blue plants to my garden, One of those plants is Borage,
