Blue and White Garden Thoughts...

I've always been a fan of blue in the garden.
After white flowers, blue hydrangeas and morning glories are my favorite.

(A bloom from this year's garden.)



We had a bumper crop of hydrangeas this year 
even though our weather was crazy last Winter
 and it has rained so much this Summer.
(I don't mind when they are a bit purple-y either!)

I also like blue and white in the garden in other forms.

Here are a few goodies from my IG feed.
I love a blue and white garden stool anywhere.
 This one is in good company- look at those woven chairs and fabulous topiaries. 




And this is perfection:
Fabulous fish bowls planted with pretty pink blooms and on amazing wooden stands.
 (Notice the designs on the bowls aren't matchy-matchy)



And if you are not familiar with the intriguing story of Jim Thompson then here is a link to a good article. But be forewarned you may end up down a rabbit hole of googling about Jim Thompson because the story is full of mystery, speculation, Asian art, blue and white, the silk trade and more!!


Not technically "outside in the garden" but this conservatory is fabulous. 
I found it on M.O.Endres  amazing IG feed.


And this is quite the entrance. 
How would you like to see that every time you come and go??
There's more blue and white fabulousness (indoors and out)
 on Elizabeth's blueandwhitehome IG account.


So, blue and white in the garden gets a (green) thumbs up!!
