    I am a fan of a blue and yellow color scheme. My latest attempt has been slow to come to fruition: the yellow daylilies ('Happy Returns') were slow to bloom, then of course when they did, the hydrangea ('Pennie Mac') went on strike for several years (not enough water? winters too harsh?)

    Finally this year they are both blooming happily! IMG_20180629_164313.jpg

    Please note the hydrangea is actually a brighter blue. In the photo it is a bit washed out. Picture it being more vibrant.

    I like that colour combination as well. Your plants did really well for you this year. You have a good imagination.
