Diane:
Below are 2 photos of my violets--they were originally wild--when my girls were small I would transplant as many as possible from my yard to my beds along the house in the spring. When we moved, I took enough of the violets with me to put in this bed---so while they are wild they are not grin only a few are nice sized as of now--but I can send waht I have----if someone will tell me how-----
As you can see it is pretty small yet----a few weeks would make all the difference/
[Linked Image]

The second picture here is one from the yard---I show you this to show you how it will look, color-wise when it is in full bloom---is this what you are looking for???--although the top is possibly more true to color>>>

Scilla siberica,or siberian squill, shown here with early daffodils, is as blue
as flowers get.

[Linked Image](click picture for a closer look, and once more for full screen size.)

They're in the front yard and are taking over. Violets will show up in a couple of weeks. It's like, you know, a grassless yard,because the violets completely cover the ground. Not sure if they'll grow in Grand Prairie, though, but they do spread from seeds as well as multiply bulbs.

Now I see seeds in a catalog for Salvia has red /white mix bloom.
I am hunting that one..

Just got an order from Jungs last week.. Sale......

2 Bridals Wreath bushes
1 peppermint stick spearil

1 goats beard
1 new type of astibile
1 fancy daisy........for my red white blue bed

I am finding it cheaper to order after June , than swapping ..LOL

I didn't think of that dodge but it is probably cheaper to order than to swap. One price for a whole bunch of stuff instead of sending out a bunch of swaps.

I don't have it dated. I haven't set my camera up for that. I have them dated in my albums.

I have to admit Diane, in real life it isn't that exact shade of blue. I can never get blue to come out the right color in a picture.

yes But it's Blue! grin That's exciting. I see purple here,, yellow, rust, but rarely blue,, nurserys say they always go first,,,, Of course they are purchased by those that can go shopping during regular business hours,, I told my nursery they should hold a couple of skids of the blue ones until after 5 notme lol

I am fortunate in that I work from 7AM to 2:30PM but I actually bought those on a Saturday morning at a place that usually sells to construction and big landscaping companies. They have 2 days a year where they open to the public but at wholesale prices. Cool huh grin
