Blueish white, fringed petals, odd leaf.

It doesn't appear to be rare, just not in my Newcomb's Wildflower
Guide where I can find it.


I don't know what it is, but I've got it growing here in Middle TN, full
sun. Comes back every year.

Seems to be Miami Mist (phacelia purshii), I am informed.

There's an unfringed version understandably named ``phacelia dubia''

lol - have you met Prunella vulgaris yet? One of my favorite names.
