On our new patio we also do have two Variegated Blue Flax Lilies. Let me show you the one that has tiny blue flowers. They were rather tricky to photograph but I got some photos to share with you...
As mentioned above, they are rather tiny!
This gives you more an idea of the entire pot plant and the tiny flowers...
Beautiful variegated leaves, that in itself is already striking enough.
But such a lovely bloomer too; almost continuously and in winter they ought to show blue berries as well.
So pretty how they open from closed buds into a lovely blue flower...
Really fragile looking...
Looking now towards the street.
Do any of you have this Variegated Flax Lily?
very pretty.
ReplyDeleteDearest Theresa,
DeleteIt is a lovely and very fragile blooming new patio resident!
Hugs,
Mariette
Such a pretty little flower.I'm afraid the heat here would zap the life out of it in no time. :/ Have a wonderful week. Tammy
ReplyDeleteDearest Tammy,
DeleteGuess you are right about that about your area. It is a bit more sheltered from the hot sun on our front patio as most of the afternoon it is in the shade.
Enjoy your week as well.
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThese are very beautiful - I have never seen them before. You have such a green thumb to grow so many exotic plants! Enchanting!
Hugs xo
Karen
Dearest Karen,
DeleteGuess both of us have inherited the genes of our Parents that were market gardeners. We just love to do it, however hard in this climate and the potting soil quality often is so poor...
Hugs,
Mariette
Very beautiful little flowers, with that exquisite fragile look!
ReplyDeleteQuite a contrast with the leaves so much sturdier.
It is a discovery for me.
Keep well Mariette, have a great week!
Dearest Noushka,
DeleteIndeed are those fragile flowers quite a contrast to the sturdy leaves! Glad you enjoyed it too, we loved the variegated leaves so much.
Enjoy your week too.
Hugs,
Mariette
I seem to have lots of flowers the same as you Mariette. I have several growing in my garden. I love the blue berries more than the flowers. It is such a vivid blue. Enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteHugs Kay
Dearest Kay,
DeleteAs far as I read, this originally is from New Zealand so it is not far off from Australia. Nowadays most exotic plants have become available the world over.
We have yet to discover its vivid blue berries in winter time. Looking forward to that stage.
Hugs,
Mariette
Hello Mariette
ReplyDeleteIn the first photo the flower looks like a fuchia.
It's very delicate.
Happy Monday
Hugs
Shane
Dearest Shane,
DeleteYou are right about that, just the single flower does resemble a fuchsia flower!
They are very delicate.
Enjoy your new week.
Hugs,
Mariette
Het is een lelie heb ik begrepen, jij weet er duidelijk meer van dan ik, maar ze zien er prachtig, heel teer uit en je hebt ze goed scherp op de foto gekregen.
ReplyDeleteBeste Marianne,
DeleteJa, de blauwe besjes moeten nog mooier zijn die er in de winer aan komen. We wachten maar af. Het blad vonden we al heel bijzonder; zónder de fragiele bloemetjes.
Liefs,
Mariette
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteThey are rather tiny idea of the entire pot plant and the tiny flowers.buds into a lovely blue flower.
Hugs and love to you!
Michiko
Dearest Michiko,
DeleteYou are right about that, compared to their rather broad and coarse leaves those blue flowers are rather tiny.
Hugs and love to you with sunshine.
Mariette
carissima Mariette un saluto e un abbraccio Lory
ReplyDeleteCara Lory,
DeleteAnche a te una settimana con sole e un abbraccio!
Mariette
Eccomi qui Mariette rientrata dopo una pausa dal blog! Ma sai che questo fiore non l'ho mai visto di questo così delicato colore? Davvero delizioso, dolce, ricorda il mondo delle fate.....Un abbraccio. Paola
ReplyDeleteCara Paola,
DeleteInoltre, sia per noi questa era la prima volta. Abbiamo apprezzato le sue foglie e i piccoli fiori blu è stata una sorpresa. Ora ci viene detto che le sue bacche sono ancor più sbalorditivo blu. Una pianta che tiene al sorprenderci...
Baci,
Mariette
They are really small! I can see how small they are from the photo of the entire pot!
ReplyDeleteAnd so beautiful. They do look fragile and look kind of shy :-)
Dearest Tamago,
DeleteIndeed a kind of a timid beauty but in plural! Now we have to wait for its surprising blue berries in winter...
Hugs,
Mariette
Dear Mariette,such beautiful little blue flowers!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures indeed!!Your plants and flowers are a beauty!!
Have a wonderful week!!Hugs!
Dimi...
Dearest Dimi,
DeleteVery special color blue.
So glad you enjoyed the Delft Blue from the Porceleyne Fles in my birth country!
Hugs,
Mariette
What a lovely plant!!!!!! The little flowers are so delicate and beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't have the chance of seeing this plant before! Thanks for showing it to us, dearest Mariette!
Many hugs and happy week!
Dearest Marie-Anne,
DeleteYou are not the only one for never having seen this plant before; for both of us it is a first time as well.
Hugs to you and happy week too.
Mariette

ReplyDeletePor incrível que pareça (nossos climas são bem diferentes) também tenho um!!!
Comprei porque as folhas são lindas!
Boa semana!
Beijinhos.
♡♡彡
Dearest Inês,
DeleteYour region is more temperate than here in Georgia but this plant can handle a range of temperatures I guess. The leaves are pretty on its own indeed.
Hugs,
Mariette
Strange but nice
ReplyDeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
DeleteQuite a different flower indeed.
Hugs,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteDearest Giga,

Good Morning, Mariette♪ How lovely your Blue Flax Lilies is♡♡♡ It sure look tiny but its flowers are so elegant. Contrast of buds and the sweet flowers in your pictures are wonderful:-)
ReplyDeleteps> oh yes, we use nanten for New Year's flower arrangement often as it brings good luck. 南天（→難転） original character can be written different way and each one means "hardship; turn". Reminds me of the proverb 'Bad luck often brings good luck.' :-)
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend in America, xoxo Miyako*
Dearest Miyako,
DeleteGood morning for you; not for us here... you are 13 hours ahead of us in summer time and 14 hours in winter time.
But yes, a surprising tiny flower and we are lucky that via photo we get to see it in its full beauty!
The nanten given to me did bring our group lots of luck; we got all out one day ahead of schedule and even with that tsunami being a minor one - who knows ahead of time?! Plus the two major Japanese holidays in July... we would have been stuck for sure.
Many hugs to you from across the ocean, more than half-way around the world in Georgia/USA.
Mariette
Oh, dear Mariette, HOW I missed your wonderful flowers!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLots of love from the Alps :)
Dearest Anna,
DeleteThose are such little gems... they each have beauty and bring us joy.
Hugs,
Mariette
Liebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteich kenne nur den uralten Lein/Flachs, aus dem der Stoff hergestellt wird, aber hier steht 'Lily' eine Lilienart? Dann sind beide auch nicht verwandt?
Liebe Grüße
Sara
Liebe Sara,
DeleteNein die sind nicht verwandt aber in Neu Zealand wurde jedoch Flax von ähnliche Flax Lilies gewoben... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flax_in_New_Zealand
Liebe Wochenendgrüsse,
Mariette
