Blue Green Flowers
Blue-green flowers are relatively rare in nature, but several flowers exhibit shades that can be described as spanning between blue and green. Here are a few examples where you might see this coloration:
-
Hydrangeas: Depending on soil pH, some hydrangeas can take on a greenish-blue hue. Acidic soil tends to produce blue flowers, while alkaline soil results in pink, but sometimes you can get intermediary shades.
-
Blue-Green Succulents: Certain succulents might have blue-green flowers or foliage. While they’re more commonly appreciated for their fleshy leaves, some, like the Echeveria or Sedum varieties, can exhibit blue-green tones.
-
Turquoise Ixia (Ixia viridiflora): This is a rare flower that features teal or turquoise-colored blooms.
-
Blue-Green Orchids: While true blue-green orchids are rare and often artificially created, certain Vanda or Dendrobium hybrids might offer blooms that lean toward these hues.
-
Delphiniums: Some varieties of delphiniums can have a blue-green appearance, especially as they start to fade.
-
Sea Holly (Eryngium): This plant often has silvery-blue or blue-green spiky flower heads that can add an unusual touch to gardens and flower arrangements.
When you are gardening or arranging flowers with blue-green hues, combining them with complementary colors can create stunning visual effects. Florists often pair blue-green flowers with whites or deep blues to highlight their unique tones.
