I love wildflowers, and this specific one is an alltime favorite ... Phacelia campanulata aka California Bluebell. Pretty, reddish, slightly woolly, veined leaves and grows about 15-18 inches tall in full sun. I ordered the seeds specially, this past Spring and have been enjoying their intense blue color. Some shots are from several days ago, and some taken this morning (there's dew on them) ... and a bug! Didn't look like a real bee to me, but our bug specialists will hopefully chime in!
