Cornflowers, especially against a background of biscuit coloured grasses.

Hard call, but I think it has to be Borage for me, closely followed by Salvia.  :)

A really good blue hydrangea - I detour on my twice-daily journey at the moment to see one which is poking through a fence (the spondon side of the asda roundabout, for anyone in the derby area.)

[Hosta]

Surprise, surprise - Mine is a Hosta  -  called  HOSTA ENTERPRISE   ;D

Morning Glory... heavenly blue... although the perennial flax runs it close  :)

Chicory. The wild cornflower. Mecanopsis, mine flowered for the first time this year.

This just reads like a list of my favourite flowers. And you want me to choose only 1  :o
I think, if I could get it to grow it would be morning glory but I adore cornflowers and the agapanthus in the garden this year is the best I've seen it (9 flowers - that's a record!). So maybe I should stick with the agapanthus  ;)

Landimad, Toadspawn and 1066 all mentioned cornflowers. For some reason I can't ever get them growing, even with a purchased plant which barely bloomed and died.  Yet the wild variety grows by the roadside here.  What is your secret for keeping cornflowers happy?

[Flighty]

I did as well! I sow a packet every year on my wild flower patch, some in the autumn the rest in the spring.
Some years I get lots of flowers but others very few if any! Apart from deadheading I do nothing else.
