Blue is an unusual hue for blooms. Indeed, you only come across true blue flowers, well, once in blue moon – unless, of course, you happen to live near a stream in a high-altitude meadow, where they’re fairly prevalent. More popular are petals tinted with pinks and purples, but whichever end of the spectrum you prefer, you’ll find blue flowers evoke tranquility and harmony and portray a sense of stability suggestive of confidence, honesty and security.
Did you know that, in general, white and pale flowers are particularly strongly scented? Think oriental lilies, tuberose, tazetta and narcissi. Freesia are an exception to this - darker red and pink varieties have the strongest scent.
