Nice link Dale, just not enough pictures! I need the visual thing LOL Guess I can Google names of things that sound interesting.
Annie's Annuals does carry some nice unusual bulbs from S0. Africa and the Mediterranean. so I have picked up a few things and do as you said, pot them up and set them aside in the summer.
Blue flowers blooming now
Here's my pretty blue ajuga intermingled with Angelina sedum. This ajuga was planted at least 25 years ago before we bought the house from my parents. Spreads here and there, gets scorched by the sun on extremely hot days as it's planted in almost full sun, I pull it where I don't want it, move it around sometimes and it always rewards me in the spring.
An exceptionally pretty combination, Sue.
I have the exact same combination, Sue! The Ajuga does spread but Angelina goes wild!
I can never find that Angelina here, anywhere.
What?! They are everywhere here, even HD & Target on occasions!
Isn't a plant great when it can be grown in so many different climates?! Wish all plants were like that. Well, I would definitely need more space if they did.
I'll have to take a photo of how mine spread. It's amazing!
I have pieces tucked in everywhere, various bed edges and pots because it's a nice contrast for the greens.
For any lover of roses, you simply must visit Zuzu's thread:

It's like a quick trip to heaven!
Lovely colors on both the delphiniums and the iris, JD.
I have blue Flax blooming and have quite a few on a bank and it is just a sea of blue...Bodacious......
Lovely Dutch iris and Blue Eyed grass, Lynn. Love the spurs on the flowers!
So no blue flowers, but I feel much better saying I have a Blue Garden...
Yours are all so beautiful.
Oh, I love them. Mine are all repainted red, but the red's chipping off. Maybe I'll try blue next time.
Isn't blue-eyed grass the best? Unfortunately, our rabbits love it, too!
The bunnies haven't found mine, yet. There is a huge rabbit I see back on the path and near the woods. As long as the plants bloom, I'm happy. Such cheerful little flowers!
That's just how I describe them! I'm going to try some seed next spring and see if I can get some more going - maybe around the pond. It's one flower I wish would spread!
Oh, love that last one!!!
Me, too !
I can't grow those to save my life.
Could it too moist at your place for the lysianthis, JD? Did a quick look up and they seem to like to be dry? I would love to have that first (single) one!
