blue flower
Sky-colored garden bloom
A blue flower is any flower with blue petals—relatively rare in nature, which gives blue blooms special appeal in gardens.
The phrase also has literary significance from German Romanticism, where the blue flower symbolized longing, the unattainable ideal, and poetic aspiration: He spent his life chasing the blue flower of perfect happiness.
