Title: Whats this comming through the Asparagus
Post by: Magic Mushroom on October 03, 2007, 19:32:55: Anyone know what the small blue flower is ? Its about 6" tall and has 4 pure blue petals with a white centre.

(ignore the needle like leaves and the red berries of the asparagus.)

I agree. I may be a bit on the old fashioned side, but I think every hanging basket needs a bit of trailling lobelia. ;D

I also have lobelia in little places through the garden. I don't know where it has come from. The little splashes of blue looks really nice. I just leave it do it's thing.
