I love this dainty little wild flower. The back field is full of it this year, and I have been snapping lots of photos. Here are just four of them. Click on the photo to see a larger view.

I love the intimacy in all your photos, especially the closeups. Gives us all a butterfly’s or bee’s world-view!

Hi Sandy,
Your photos always amaze me. I especially like the butterfly shot. Hope you’re having a great summer.

Oh my Sandy, two lovely haiku for OSI. I’m ready to crawl under that wonderful quilt!

I love this little flower also. Blue is always such a treat in a garden… not seen as often.

Hi, I purchased this in Maine recently. Is there anything special you think I should do with it here in Tennessee? I thought it was the yellow version and was so afraid to plant it but it seems this one is not invasive.

I see you are close to where I am originally from, the Brunswick area. Such a small world this Internet.
