That's okay! I originally thought it was plumbago really because of the spent seed pod, but the color blue in your photo is so incredible and my plumbago just isn't that blue, so I wasn't sure.

Now that you've said that I went back and compared the original to the post-processed (Lightroom) version and man it sure did change that blue! Here's the raw version. I didn't realize it adjusted the hue that much.
I love blue in the garden. I'm thinking the blue flower is either plumbago or a blue phlox. Do you happen to know?
It is the Blue Shades Ruellia (Ruelia Tonos Azules)
thanks. And no wonder I don't know it! it's only hardy to zone 8. Lucky Texas.
Well ya know what, I misidentified it. =/
This is actually a Plumbago (Plumbago auriculata). I bought both at the same time and grabbed the wrong tag.
