Blue, part 2

Here are a few more blue flowers:

These are called, and no, I’m not making this up, “Blue Lips”!img_0744.jpgLarkspur are a bit more purplish than blue.img_0747.jpgThis photographed much bluer than it really is – it is a violet (see? it is purple!) and I was just beside myself to see them up there. At the last place we lived, these covered the lawn in the winter. I had no idea they grew in the wild!img_0749.jpgThese are called (nope, not making this up either) – “Five Spots”. What can one say to that except, “Duh”.img_0762.jpgThese are truly blue and grow in a couple of profuse patches along the road, perhaps around 4000′. I have no idea what they are and this photo is entirely inadequate. The really great patch is in a place that would be very dangerous for stopping so you’ll just have to drive to Mineral King. Soon! 

And, inquiring minds like to know, do you know of other blue flowers that I should see?
