    I really like this plant, it is so pretty. I forgot to ask at the nursery what it was though.

    That looks like a Laurentia axillaris. It's very pretty. :D

    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. :-D

    Thank you. My granddaughter says my brain runs away sometimes. I will remember this name for sure now!
