11 June : Lobelia


I know that in the scale of things it should be a minor irritation, so insignificant that I could flick it away as I might a tiny breadcrumb and then carry on with my day, thinking of other more important subjects such as constitutional reform or deforestation. Alas, the sight of a dark blue lobelia flower where there should only be white never ceases to send me into a frenzy of recrimination. Look away now, I am going to indulge in some Lobelia rage and it could get ugly.

  1. That's a very pretty window box (lobelia notwithstanding).

    1. Thank you - early days - there is lots of room for it to fill out with more (white) lobelia.

  2. To those who do not know your intentions with white lobelia could be mistaken in thinking that the blue does look rather nice.

    1. I am pondering. Can I cope with a rogue blue streak in my elegant mauve and silver box? Is it good for me to learn to deal with uncertainty?

  3. But, but, Lobelia should be dark blue, that is their whole point of being...

  4. We too lamented about the rogue purples in our white lobelia. And the red wallflowers pretending to be yellow - perhaps they were in the wrong queue...

    1. I am trying to embrace my inner blue Lobelia but being very unsuccessful.
