You would think that I would know the name of one of my favorite perennial flowers, but I don't! For a long time I called it a garden phlox, but after a bit of deep research (i.e. looking at Google Images), I am confident that it is Blue Flax (Linum perenne). The thing that is spectacular about the flower is the mass of blue flowers each morning, shown in the photo below.
The thing I love about the flax is that the individual flowers loose all of their petals each evening, growing a new set each morning!
As you can see from the seedling above, the leaves are very slender, almost needle-like. I have found that the plants are easy to transplant, and have several around the garden.
