When it is time to pick out a planter, a piece of furniture, or a color for a sculpture, you can safely bet that I will vote for BLUE.And 80% of the time, the shade of blue I can never resist is cobalt.
Is it because it is so rare in nature?
There really are no naturally blue foods..
And Blue flowers are quite hard to name as well. Right now, I can't think of one that blooms in rich, deep blue.
Maybe I love to use blue because it reflects and repeats the color of the sky... my Temple of The Big Blue Dome...
Or maybe because it helps cool and contrast all of the warm-to-hot colors so abundant in flowers: red, yellow, orange...
No need to keep trying to articulate something that just FEELS so
right and looks so good:) Enjoy a little sample of the cobalts in ze garden at the Bohemian Homestead this year!
I tried to get the pics all neat and organized, but haven't mastered the art of photomontage on blogger yet...forgive:) !!
