Names of blue flowers. Rose
There are a huge number of large blue flowers. The most popular are roses, asters, gladioli and cornflowers. Bells, anemones, balsam, bindweed, delphinium, bluebells and nasturtium are also widely known.
The blue color of a rose is not natural. In the natural environment, such a color in its pure form is practically not found. Many flowers, although considered blue, have a variety of shades. The blue rose is a different story. Breeders from different countries tried to get this color, but to no avail.
For the first timethe sky-colored rose was bred in the middle of the 19th century. The name of the blue flowers was conditional, since they had this shade only after they had faded.
At the beginning of the 20th century, a new attempt to breed a blue rose again failed. At first the petals were purple, then they faded and turned gray-lilac, and in hot weather they acquired a subtle blue tint.
Breeders have made more and more attempts to breed a blue flower, but to no avail. And only now our contemporaries found out that the rose does not initially have a blue gene. She is unable to produce delphinidin. And without this pigment, in conditions of natural growth, it is impossible to obtain a blue tone in flowers.

Blue color goes well with yellow or white. Cornflowers remain cut for a long time if this is done in the morning and immediately pour boiling water over the stems, and then put in cold water.
