Blue Monday is hosted weekly by Smiling Sally.
To see more offerings, or to participate yourself,
please head on over to her blog.These are a few shots I took on a recent visit to
Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria VA. It's a lovely small park in Fairfax County, with many different garden areas on display. Most of the plants are labeled, so that horticultural ignoramuses (such as
moi) can easily tell a freesia from a dahlia. However, these blue ones weren't marked, so (except for the pansies) I'm not sure what they are. But I always like blue flowers, whatever they're called. (

Blue and red blossoms along a dry creek bed running through the park.
These were growing in the rock garden area (I love rock gardens). If you look closely, you can see the little bumble bee in one of the flowers.
And the pansies were very pretty, even though they looked like they could use a large drink of water (spring has been a little dry this year).
