The Blue Silk is pretty. I think I have a few of those seeds to grow this year too.

I also have a very nice dark silky blue that I had intermingled with the Rose Silk a few years ago. It glows! It has variegated leaves, like Rose Silk, and has huge blooms that start out dark blue and fade to fuscia. I had a better picture of it somewhere, but here it is, windblown, twining around a moonflower datura plant. It didn't produce many seeds, so I'm hoping what I sow this year will do well. I love this one!

I think I'm on a "bright and bold" kick right now. All the colors I have chosen for my gardens are very bright. I need to find a place for pastels. Maybe in a back garden, to brighten things up a bit.

Thanks for the compliment on the arbor. I'd love to make more, so I'm waiting for someone else to throw something else out. LOL
