Pretty blue flower - but what is it?
« on: July 17, 2017, 04:12:18 pm »
My sister's pretty good at flower identification but she has been stumped by this one - growing in her garden in Cambridge
Any ideas please?
Thanks you

Looks a little similar to a primrose... Could it be a hybrid?  :thinking:
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

The blue looks like speedwell (Veronica spp) but the petals are wrong. Not morning glory either. Hmm!

California bluebell (Phacelia campanularia) often found in non native "wild flower" mixes.
