Blue Flowers
These flowers are blue, aren't they? Some will argue that they are lavender or periwinkle, but I think they are closer to blue. Needless to say, they are gorgeous flowers!
I think I saw them at a park some times last year, and at that moment I didn't know that there was a meme called Blue Monday. Well, I didn't know any meme at all.
These flowers were very small, and in order to take a great close-up, I ended up with many photos. Putting them in a collage is the best way to show them off altogether.
Here is a close-up and if anyone know what this flower is called, please do tell. I love learning flower names, even if I can't remember them all.
What could be better on a flower than water drops? I find it very challenging to capture perfect water drops, and still trying to do so whenever I have an opportunity.

I don't know what they are, but they sure are pretty. I love the collage.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Looks like a hardy geranium of some kind. The flowers on the garden variety are reasonably large, about an inch and a half across? But some of the wild ones are really small, perhaps not even a centimetre. Pretty though, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteThey are exceptional. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteThis are pretty blue flowers perfect for blue Monday. See you in my place..
ReplyDeleteHi! Love the colour of these flowers - they are a type of cranesbill in the geranium family - go here for more info

ReplyDeleteI just love how the water drops on on there...so pretty.. Happy Blue Monday :)
ReplyDeletewell done ! these pictures are great, what a gorgeous little flower. I've seen them before but never always forgot the name. I love the last one with the drops, and yes, i'd say they're blue!
ReplyDeleteThose can not be more beautiful! I love the rain drops on the petals.
ReplyDeleteLovely detail in these macros.
ReplyDeleteflowers dressed in raindrops are such a delight!
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are really pretty. They do look like they could pass for blue or a shade of purple too.
ReplyDeleteGreat Photos...Happy Blue Monday
ReplyDeleteUndeniable. They are very pretty. So healthy and fresh looking too. I am glad you had a chance to capture them
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors, no matter the color. They probably look different according to the light too. Happy Blue Monday!

ReplyDeleteand yes, you are right what could be better on a flower but water drops...refreshing!
Icy, I am not much help in flowers name. I might have known yesterday, but will forget today. :-) It looks like two of your readers came to your rescue. How nice.
ReplyDeleteYour collage is gorgeous; such a nice showcase for their beauty.
They are stunning wonerful and as well beautifully photographed.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Icy, they are a Cranesbill Geranium. A wonderful perennial that comes in a variety of colors.
ReplyDeleteI have one on my patio and the bees and bee flies love it. Many of my summer bee fly photos were with the Cranesbil.
I think they are a combination of the blue spectrum which includes lavender and blue. They are simply gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYour blue flowers are lovely, very beautiful details on the second photo.
