I found some blue and some white, several miles apart.

It looks to be a species of Phacelia, not sure which
[there are many, but most won't look much like yours].

cheers

That's a good clue. Now I can use the index of Newcomb's Wildflower
Guide under phacelia, and come up with the most likely candidates
(he edits the probabilities for me)

Miami Mist P. pursii
Small flowered Phacelia P. dubia (nice name, no fringe)
Fern Leafed Phacelia P. bipinnatifida

the winner being Miami Mist, a very good match.

If only his classification entry system were always as good.
