Reply:Your purple flower is actually pink in most light. Photography, both film and digital, tend to do some funny things to the pink/purple/blue floral pigments.





"True blue" flowers are relatively rare; what botanists call "blue" is anything from bluish lavender all the way through true blue. You're asking for the bluest end of that.





Try looking at the genus Gentiana-- there are a number of species with very blue flowers, including Gentiana verna and G. acaulis. Or at Meconopsis, commonly called "blue poppy", though there are a number of species with red or yellow flowers in the genus. Take a look at M. x sheldonii, M. betonicifolia, among others. Those are my two favorite genera with really vivid blues.
Reply:Here's a picture of plumbago, which is a light blue, but definitely blue color. http://www.floridata.com/ref/p/plumbago....
