    Was mowing down by the creek this morning and saw some blue color in the weeds. So being the nosey person that I am, I went investigating. Here is what I found.

    What a bonus Captain, near the ditch lilies? I wish I were so lucky.

    Good photo of a lovely flower! Glad you are observant--others might have mowed it down.

    No these were along the driveway. The ditch lillies are in the back yard. All of the other blooms are the same as this one.
