Apart from the Daffs everything seems to be blue in the garden now. With Chinadoxia, Anemone, Scillia and Pulmonaria.

Beautiful. I am waiting for my seedling blue salvias to start blooming. Just ordered some blue Stokes Asters.

Nice idea, though colour scheme gardens can be hard to do, especially if you don't want to end up with something dull.
@CeliaVL The most famous white garden of course was the one at Sizzinghurst, and that gave rise to a lot of the others, but even that was white, green and silver if you read V .S.-W. original writings about it. And though it works well I have not seen any other that does. To pull off themes you really do need at least V.S.-W.s tallent, themed gardens rarely work because you start by restricting what you can use, and for ordinary mortals that is just an extra difficulty to overcome.
That is so pretty! I have real challenges with growing blue flowers. Most come up white and orange and purple.

Sonmetimes soil chemistry can alter flower colour, usually cleated iron, or lime can help, depending if you are acid or alchaline.
@Fernapple I have to add iron to the hydrangeas to make the bloom blue. Never tried it with the iother flowers.
