Am I Blue?
by lac111

I love the color blue. In nature it is not the most common color with regard to flora, so
these tiny Lobelia are one of my favorites. I don't always like having to lie on my belly to
take a shot, but when I see the result I usually feel it was all worth it.

Beautiful shot, Lora. Love the water droplets.
We had a long, oval pot of Lobelia sitting on our back deck railing this year and they looked fabulous. They only fizzled about 2 weeks ago.
