Yes, the Hib. Azurri is just a fabulous color, Paula. The color diff is probably because of the brighter background in the second pic. Camera was compensating for more light. I used to carry around a piece of gray cardboard to put behind things for pictures to prevent that.

I have a flower coming along on the blue ginger that Alice sent me this spring! So excited to see it.

Also my 'experiment' with the two Philo Gloriosums planted in my shady border this spring, one in a sunken pot, and the other straight into the ground is showing results - the one in the sunken pot has way bigger, nicer leaves than the one in the ground now! I'm sort of sad, because I was hoping the one in the ground would be able to hold its own against the oak tree roots in there, but I guess not. Think I'll wait until cooler weather then roust it out and give it a pot to nestle into.
