? ( photo / image / picture from marikelley's Garden ) I really like this plant, it is so pretty. I forgot to ask at the nursery what it was though. moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic

That looks like a Laurentia axillaris. It's very pretty. _________________ The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. -Bertrand Russell

Yes I agree with Droopy that your blooms are indeed Laurentia axillaris. I have these in my own garden and I love the clumps of little blue flowers they produce. We simply call them 'Blue Stars' around here. _________________
