Red, White and Blue


 Like so many others that I'm seeing, 
our white roses have outdone themselves the past few days!
I'm not sure what this blue flower is....I don't think I missed its full bloom.
Maybe more to come?
Update:  Bachelor's Button/Cornflower it is!
Thanks, Wanda AND Nan.
 ...and another look at our Epson salt, miracle roses.
(Actually, I'll never know whether it was the salt
or just the favorable weather.)

  2. I believe the little blue flower is a young Bachelor Button, Rebecca. Your roses are lovely, I have red ones just like yours!

  3. Thanks, Wanda (Bachelor Button). I'll look it up to confirm. I thought BB to be shorter to the ground than this, but it surely could be!

  4. Rebecca, the blue flower is known by several names - Perennial bachelor's button, Mountain bluet, Perennial cornflower. The Latin name is Centaurea montana.I have some and love it. That chair looks perfect among your roses!
