Our garden starts out earliest with the blues. Muscari and wood hyacinth, columbine centaurea (bachelor's button), among others. Also brunnera, with flowers like forget-me-nots.. The one thing about our outdoor plants is that they bloom during their season, and then they are finished for the year. If you plant outdoors, there are a lot of plants with bluish blooms. I find it somehwt amusing that our garden blooms with blues first then going to purple, pink and yellow, then full bloom.

There are a number of blooming indoor plants, which often bloom several times a year. I'm sure you could find african violets that would fulfill your color request. You might also find some great bulbs which can be forced indoors, like hyacinth. Many forced bulbs stay in bloom for a few weeks.
