I suppose it depends on where Lilac finishes for you and Blue begins.


I've never thought of Lilac as being blue, to be honest, although there
is *some* blue in it.


It never ceases to amaze me how many plant/bulb/seed sellers
misleadingly describe purple/lilac/lavender flowers as "blue" - often
photoshopping images to increase the blue hue. Plant families which are
capable of producing true blue colours are very much in the minority
when compared to those that can't. Even with families capable of having
flowers of all colours, species which have blue flowers are few and far
between.
