    Hi Everyone -

    I'm trying to ID this very pretty and delicate blue flower. The picture below is from July 2008.

    This picture shows additional flowers more examples of the blue flowers. The stalks are quite tall and the flowers grow in clumps.

    We have these little blue wild flowers that grow in clumps, however I don't think they are the same thing, close, but not the same.

    Calomaar, yours reminds me of forget-me-nots-Myosotis.

    I think your blue flower is a Delphinium of some sort, ckdang. I'm used to seeing them with tall spikes, solidly packed with flowers, but I know there are other types that are more "loose" in their blooms.

    Yours is a forgetmenot, Calomaar.

    It looks like a Larkspur to me-- a Delphineum sort. It is usually lower in stature than the fancy types that one can buy for the garden. The foliage is also different--more fine.
    The people here often call the Larkspur a "Wild Delphinium" because the never plant them, and the Larkspur just blows-in. I just let them grow where then will in my flower garden.

    I vote Larkspur too. Such delicate, dainty little flowers and such a lovely colour. :stew2:

    Pretty blooms. The smaller blue ones, I agree are Myosotis.
