Quixote Posted August 26, 2014 Just wondered which plant in the world has the most vivid true-blue flowers. Google came up with nothing, so I thought I would ask here. I know many of you like plants in general.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halcyon Daze Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I've heard it said that it is Lechenaultia biloba, but I doubt there is a definitive "bluest". Edited August 26, 2014 by Halcyon Daze 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cactuscarl Posted August 26, 2014 Seen a picture of a bright blue desert rose hybrid but it may have photo shopped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExplorer Posted August 27, 2014 Thelionema caespitosum (tufted blue lily) would be up there. Hydrangeas can also be pretty blue in acidic soil or with the right additives. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quixote Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Can't forget the Thelymitra 'Sun Orchids' That's absolutely beautiful, but are the flowers really blue like this, or is it photoshop magic? Googling around for more pics, it seems many of the flowers have more of a purplish colour to them.. Edited September 5, 2014 by Quixote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
