"In this fascinating book, author Robert Geneve provides a wide selection of blue flowers that deserve a more prominent place in gardens. Blue flowers are especially common in mountain meadows and stream beds at high altitudes, which may explain why the color blue is more often encountered in the cool-climate gardens of northern Europe than in warmer climates, such as the southeastern United States.
