    But I have no idea which one. I found it in the floral department at the grocery store this morning, on sale.
    It is about 6"/15cm tall and a little wider than that, gorgeous tiny blooms of different shades of purple. The largest bloom is less than 1"/2.5cm across. The info on the tag said indoors or outdoors.

    Any ideas of which variety I have here?

    Once upon a time the only double was called 'Elizabeth Oliver', but I guess those days are over. :D It's a sweetie, no matter what it is.

    Mine does look like the 'Elizabeth Oliver' but it is almost twice the height it is supposed to be. Randy says I have a radioactive mutant. :rolleyes:

    There are probably loads of double cultivars to be had these days. Or Randy might be right.

    The leaf would tell us if it was C. Elizabeth Oliver. There is another double C. haylodgensis flore plena, but that one is much paler blue.
