Blue flowers - Salvia garden plant escapee not sure about these... they were growing in the grass, they appeared not to be planted there, but rather volunteers of some sort. I'm not sure if they are wild flowers or have escaped from a garden. Very neat blossoms though. Best candidate so far - Caryopteris divaricata Geotagged,Summer,Tripora,Tripora divaricata,United States Click/tap to enlarge

    Tripora divaricata doesn't look the same to me. Posted 10 years ago

      I'm open to suggestion - one note - these flowers are still a bit folded - in a different photo you can see that the top petal is divided Posted 10 years ago

        It looks like some kind of sage (Salvia sp.), but there are so many of them... Posted 10 years ago

          this is quite possibly a garden escapee too - so it may be a hybrid...

          looks like this one - the question is, is this identified correctly - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lamiaceae_-_Salvia_transsylvanica.jpg           Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

            The other photos of Salvia transsylvanica don't look the same.

              of those I'd say not interrupta - the foliage is silvery and the stems red, much more like the forsskaolei - but I'd say it's pretty certain this wandered out of a garden bed. Hybrid garden plants can be nearly impossible to ID - especially when they reproduce and start reverting. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago
