    Do big blousey dark blue flowers exist?

    Yes- sorry, I have my flowery head on. Just realised I can't recall seeing any dark/rich blue large headed flowers like chrysanths, dahlias, roses etc. Does anyone know of any by chance?

    Thank you as always

    Iris as a single flower or delphinium, salvia or lupin for a cluster..........

        I can think of hyacinths, Hydrangea, and alliums.

          Norfolkgrey - there are indeed large dark blue lupins, variety 'gallery blue'.

              Corn flower and love in a mist, Not big and blowsey but blue never the less.

              And when your back stops aching,
              And your hands begin to harden.
              You will find yourself a partner,
              In the glory of the garden.

                    Oh good I am glad it is not just me. The near navy blue cactus dahlia I have in my head looks fantastic I may have to dye some just to see if they look that good in reality

                    Should anyone else want blue flowery things there is also didiscus, erynigium, echinops and there is a rare heritage sweet pea called blue perfection.

                            I think most of them are more purple than blue. You had globe thistle seeds in the seed parcel, also the corn flower and the monks hood are blue/purple flowers.

                            I would hate a blue dahlia...just not girly enough
