I must admit blue is one of my favourite colours too (even my wardrobe). You're way ahead of me Verdun, only a couple of geraniums are near to flowering here. Delphiniums, lupins and pentomens must be weeks away yet. I also have a fondness for blue Clematis
My favourites i guess would be Aster Novi Belgii. Scilla peruviana and Camassia leichtlinii, oh not forgetting Chionodoxa forbesii (mainly because it`s so early in the season)
Chinodoxa - lovely a fore runner of spring I think and I have an amazing deep blue ceanothus - concho- up the wall at the front. Only coming to the end of its first year now.
And I also love caryopteris, but i ate summer there are usually a lot of blue flowers about. Also I have planted a screen of Russian sage (perovskia) well 2 plants close together that leave an ethereal impression in ne part of the garden.
Forget me nots. Just love 'em, easy peasy self seeders, pull out the excess, then the whole plants as they go over or are shading out perennials coming into growth.
I love delphiniums too, chicky. I love my deciduous ceanothus, Gloire de Versailles. I have ageratum, Blue mink, grown from seed, blue irises and I'm waiting for my anchusa to come out - it's in bud. I have green, and gold leaved caryopteris for later in the year. A beautiful clear blue clematis has come out, but I've forgotten what it is. My Multi-blue, which is flowering, is more purpley.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

...don't have many blues, but I love that Gentian up above there...
Aster frikartii Monch... the best one I have... makes a good splash..
I have a lovely blue in buglossoides purpurea (or something very close) out now and spreads by putting out 'feelers' which root down.
Did you have to adjust your photo in the computer to get that blue Bagz. I can never get a really good blue in a photo.
In the sticks near Peterborough

I love all the blues - but delphiniums have to be my all time favourites

Sorry, I was only meant to say my favourite and I haven't even mentioned it and that is bluebell.
