As you may have understood from my posts, spring has not come very far in the region where I live. It’s a bit sad really, but at least every now and then we have some really beautiful sunny days. I hope we can finally get some warm days too when May arrives in a week.
Mondays means new theme. This week’s theme is “Growth”. This lovely blue flowers are growing right outside our apartment building. I unfortunately don’t know the name of this, so if anybody out there knows, please tell me.
It looks like a snowdrop, but blue! Only have white ones here as far as I know, so I am loving the colour!
Thank you! I’m pretty sure it’s not a snowdrop. We have the white ones here too. This blue flower looks differently in full bloom. This shot is from last year: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ingaplinga77/5697367048/
Update: you were right. I was wrong. Just because they look a bit different I was sure it wasn’t a snowdrop. Thanks.
Wow – you sure? I know nothing of flowers so was just a lucky guess. Wish we had the blue ones
I would say blue snowdrops for sure… we, as Eloise, have only the white ones as far as I know
love your shot!
Thanks, Joanna. As I just replied to Eloise, I’m quite sure it’s not snowdrops. Please check this link to see them in full bloom: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ingaplinga77/5697367048/
I googled them for you as well and this is a link to shutterstock photos and they are described as blue snowdrop… so … I really though it was snowdrop, what makes you think it isn’t? Maybe somebody else knows the right answer

You’re right, Joanna. It just didn’t know the blue ones existed. And also because the white ones looks differently. Thanks! You are all so quick to help. I was going to google it myself but never got that far before you and Carissa and Eloise were all there for me.
You are so welcome.. I think that is one of the beautiful things here on wordpress… so many people wanting to help… I love it
Yes, indeed I was wrong. As soon as I posted it I thought that the inside of the flower didn’t look right (yellow vs blue).
thanks for trying anyways, Carissa
It’s really “bluetiful” !!!
haha, thanks Mathias
I think it may be a Tufted Blue Lily. http://www.treknature.com/gallery/photo123078.htm
But maybe not.
Thanks, Carissa. But still I’m not quite sure. The photo in the link show a flower with yellow stems, my flower’s got blue ones… ah well, the search continues
I do not know the name, but it is surely beautiful! love the color!
I hope many warm days greet you now.
Thanks so much
The flower is framed so perfecty. I love how the one in the middle is in focus.
