Picea pungens 'The Blues'

That 'Blue Bonnet' is gorgeous! So is 'The Blues' and 'Montgomery'. What great color. The others ain't too shabby, either.

I love P. pungens 'Lucretia'...we'll see if she grows as slowly as advertised! Some of the Abies concolors are very blue, as well.

I am sorry - I don't know the names - but these are globular blue spruce. I bought them for the gorgeous blue color! Fast growers!

First planted!

A gorgeous cousin:

Pretty cool plants Bostonbob, nice and compact.

I can share some, as Spring slowly gives way to Summer here.

Abies koreana 'Kohout's Icebreaker'

Abies procera 'Hupp's Blue'. A noble selected for this strong silvery color.

Abies concolor 'Glenmore' - A nice bright blue.

Cedrus libani var. atlantica 'Sapphire Nymph' - Forming a great medium sized dwarf.

Abies procera 'Pesek'

Excellent stuff. A nice, fine and feathery texture on Abies concolor 'Glenmore', huh?

P. pungens 'Mecky'

P. pung. JMC3

Picea pungens 'Ruby Teardrops'

Abies procera 'Blaue Hexe'

Cunninghamia lanceolata 'Glauca'

Appropriately named but still needs to colour up fully.

Abies koreana 'Blue And Silver' or 'Blue 'n' Silver'

A witches' broom out of a witches' broom...

Picea pungens 'Edith'

Picea pungens 'MPH Mamut Torony' (and a P. pungens 'C. Blue' in the background)

Wow, some great, bright blues here!

'Ruby Teardrops' is awesome!

Edwin, could you tell us more about the 'Tropical Blue' what witch's broom was it derived from?

Severnside, that Korean Fir is very fitting for this photo gallery. It is surprising to see one of your conifers in the ground instead of a pot!

Nate, that second P. pungens is definitely one of the bluest conifers I've ever seen.

Abies koreana 'Horstmann's Silberlocke'

Abies procera 'Glauca'

Picea pungens 'Copeland'

And wouldn't be complete without a Cedrus libani var. atlantica 'Glauca'

Sam, the Juniperus squamata 'Tropical Blue' is a witches' broom out of a 'Blue Star' which is a witches' broom out of a 'Meyeri'...

A lot of great plants here.

Mirek, that JMC3 is a beauty! Glad to see it propagated for you!!

You really do love that 'Rumburk' MTB, lol 3 posts

Yeah it does seem all my collection is in containers but I will be planting more out this fall.

Lol. My internet connection was acting strangely, saying that my message hadn't posted when, in fact, it had... twice.

Well, good luck transplanting to Terra "fir"ma. :0)
