I’ve written before about the inspired partnering of plants with art glass at Chihuly Garden and Glass, Seattle. Here are some more pictures with a blue theme, shared for Becky’s March Squares.
Zinging The Blues: Chihuly Art Glass

What a treat for me this evening.. love the Chihuly blue theme!
So glad to be able to treat you!
Wow. What an inspiring idea Susan. I would love to have some of that glass!
I can imagine they would have plenty of volunteers if they wanted to relocate some of it.
oh I just love Chihuly, originally I meant to include some of my own but my photos were taken years ago and every time I cropped them into squares they looked dreadful! So very happy to see some wonderful spiky Chihuly squares from you 😀
Happy to oblige! It was good I had quite a few to choose from as I ruled a lot out that way too. 🙂
Thanks for sharing these Susan. Love Chihuly’s work and it’s such a treat to see these.
It was great to see them in the style of garden the artist envisaged for them.
Wowsah! My heart is leaping with joy.
So your heart is zinging too?
Love his work and these are gorgeous in my favourite colour. Especially love the Chihuly orb with eryngium.
I’d love to spend a week or two in this garden. So much about it intrigues me. How they got the planting so right, how they keep the glass so clean…
I’d never heard of Chihuly before reading this. Just gorgeous. Wish I could have them in my garden.
Glad to have introduced you to something new.
How lovely to see these images. A Chihuly exhibition is to open in London’s Kew Gardens on 11 April. Can’t wait.
That’s exciting news!
I love the big round blue ball. These pictures are gorgeous. If we ever get back up that way again we’ll have to visit this place. Have you ever been to Butchart Gardens in Victoria?
No, I haven’t. I’ve only made one brief visit to Canada and that was to Quebec.
Love it. Chihuly showed his work at the NY Botanical Gardens in 2017. I did some close ups. https://port4u.net/2017/05/26/chihuly-squares/
Beautiful.
Thank you.
I love Chihuly’s glass art. These are lovely. 🙂
This garden is one of those places where more is more!
Zinging the blues???!!! Just as I was recovering from “take it or leaf it”! Chihuly never fails to amaze. He almost makes blue a warm color. How gorgeous!
The colours are zingy, so it seemed apt.
