My next door neighbour in the big house that own the wood was walking past last night. He is colour blind and can only see blue. He is 95, he had a cataract operation recently and he says that now he has better colour vision than when he was young.
I gave him a couple of spare Salvia patens. Now he just has to get them past his wife.
There are very few true blues in the garden. He sees cichorium as a pale blue though I see it as purply blue. I think most blues have some purple in. My blue poppy this year was violet
Clari - what a lovely day - engagement, roses and hedgehog - days don't come much better than that
Fidget, colour is so interesting. Obviously studying it was part of my art degree and I found it fascinating. So much of it is subjective and relative - and I know OH has a degree of colour-blindness - he used to call my green skirt brown - but he absolutely denies it.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Thanks Lesley and KEF and all. As it's raining here now and is forecast to rain all day, I suspect my garden will be left alone. I'm going to try not to get paranoid. Anyway there's much nicer things to think about, Clari's Lavender, and Punkdoc wading through Glastonbury, and cake....

Bit of drizzle here but it's stopped now.

Morning all, poured last evening and on and off all night. Garden needed it, and it did save me a job in the garden. Looks a bit dismal now too.
No salt mines today yay!
Havea good day Panda, hope all goes well.....and anyone else who's mining today.
Hope you had a lovely anni evening OL x
Hope you get to celebrate Clari, lots to organise now, have fun
Have fun at G Punkdoc, did you remember your wellies
Have a good day everyone, see you later BFN x
Morning all. Dry here at the moment but the sky is full of dark clouds so looks as though I will get something done inside today
Sorry to hear about your garden Daisy. It's upsetting when you have tried to get everything so nice and it gets spoiled.
When you've told the immediate family and friends Clari you can shout it from the rooftops
I know your blue poppy was violet fidget - mine was white (not that I'm going on about it)
I've bought three plants of lingholm variety. Fingers crossed for next year.
