Description
These beautiful wetland plants decorate the edges of ponds, lakes and slow-moving streams. Look for them to bloom in late May, June, and even into July. Colors can range from a true, sky-blue toward the purples. They form lovely clumps and love sunshine, although I've seen them blooming in semi-shade. We have so many lovely wild plants to be grateful for:>)

I used a texture from Shadowhouse Creations and some layers of color with adjusted transparencies for this look.
