Let's complete a list of plants that we can use to dye, wool, cloth, cotton, linen, and other textiles, the colour blue.  

No need to restrict to region or climate, we're looking for a master list of natural dyes.

So far, I've played with

woad


and

indigo


both of them use fermentation to make a brilliant blue colour.  

what other natural dyes can be used to make the colour blue?
