I think the color our mother is most fond of would more particularly be described as Lavender. Mexican Sage!!! We had a HUGE one like that picture in our backyard at our old house. And the purple was bright and stunning as the picture shows. I was amazed at how fast it grows. Our boys loved the humming birds that it attracted daily.

What a treat to seem the fluttering at the window. Very cool. Wow, Jenelle, you got the last question right too! I will now have to investigate and see if and where I can get one to grow at home. I remember from our years in San Antonio, the Mexican Heather was also beautiful. I always said I wanted to grow that too, but so far, I never have. Thanks for the info!!!

It almost seems like a lupine akin to our Fireweed up here in Alaska. Lupine always reminds me of a Monty Python skit. My favorite color is blue. I love that deeper shade of sparkling blue glass. And I love the contrast of deep blues and whites together. For a great many years, I collected blue and white plates Blue Willow pattern, some from Denmark, Lace plates, etc.

This last summer I had to pack them into storage with my move now living with a friend whose walls are painted a dark red in my room, so the plates would clash. I will one day pull them out again. I find a great deal of tranquility in those shades and have always adored them. I had wondered if it might be some variety of lupine. It just cracks me up the way they turned the Robin Hood character into Dennis Moore; even the theme song is funny.

I love the blue shades. Did you ever collect Wedgwood jasperware? That blue is very close to cornflower blue. Jeff and I are both quite fond of blue, and it shows in our York home. We just had new quartz countertops installed in our kitchen there, and both of us were totally sold on using Blue Sahara for the color. We are very happy with it!

I agree with you that blue is very tranquil. Yes, Dennis Moore is the skit I was referring too. He cracks me up. It was far too expensive for my meager budget. And almost a year ago now, I unpacked the one plate I did invest in that cost a pretty penny from there and managed to drop it on the floor in a previous move and watched in horror as it split in two.

I love that countertop! VERY lovely! I once read a book about a little girl when I was much younger whose family owned a Blue Willow serving plate but had to give it up in a move due to some troubles the family was facing. She longed for that plate the whole book. I must admit that I developed a similar longing from that book too, especially after reading about the legend behind the design.

It even inspired me to write a poem at one point which I share below. I find it even more amusing that these days there are even figurines inspired by the pattern. It has become quite common place and not valuable at all, but I still adore it. For you I would come back as a bird my love— a dove or a swan, with only you for my mate. And we would soar through cherry blossom skies our lives forever entwined.

You and only you will know the heights my heart can fly. For you I would come back as a bird my love— a heron or a nightingale, with only you to sing to.

And our music would weave together beneath the pale moon. You and only you will know the song my body sings. For you I would come back as a bird my love— a cormorant or a pelican, with only you to explore the world with. And we would dive through oceans blue seeking the treasure of our love. You and only you will know the depths of my soul. You will not believe this, but when I saw your first comment about the Blue Willow, I immediately thought of the book by Doris Gates, which I read and loved, and which was the reason I like the Blue Willow also!

Do you have a copy of the book? If not, I would love to send you one through my paperback swap — it would be used, but most of the ones I get through that club are in excellent condition, like new. The cover on the version I read looked almost exactly like this one , minus the plate in the background. Re: the Wedgwood — when we first started visiting the various islands of the Caribbean after Eastern Airlines bought out Carib Air and got all their routes I fell in love with the jasperware when I first saw it in Jamaica.

I began collecting it one piece at a time. Mama would always buy us one souvenir of each place we visited, and since she liked the jasperware too, she was willing to spring for it and it cost considerably less in the islands, particularly those associated with the UK. You can see some of my collection in this photo. I rarely run into anyone who even knows what it is, let alone likes it, but I will always love it.
