Blues – spring flowers

Yellow, blue, green: laburnum flowers

Many of the flowers at this time of year are blue. Here’s a selection.

The bluebells and the grape hyacinths are from Key Hill Cemetery – a small burial ground in a former quarry on the edge of the Jewellery Quarter, the final resting place of many of the well-off of Victorian Birmingham, now a shady spot visible from the tram line.

Evergreen alkanets are common in the hedgerows by local canals.
