Kinda looks like a lavendar?????????


Or maybe, maybe salvia, semi blurry or it's my eyes???

Can you go back to it and smell it/??
if it's got an awesome scent it'll be lavendar!

Looks like a Salvia to me... but i guess my eyes are going too cuz looks blurry to me as well lol.

Yeah, the close-up I did was a little too close, I guess.

Here's the original picture I took - it's probably better than the one I've adjusted . . .

I think it might be some sort of delphinium. At least, I had one once that looked just like this, and the tag SAID it was a delphinium. But when I google search, the pix I get don't look like this.

Carly- is the flower kinda shiny in the light? Like, it is just almost iridescent? Let us know if you find out for sure.

Or maybe Arctostaphylos would know? He/she seems to be pretty expert.

No, I didn't see that it was shiny or iridescent. It was just purple flowers.

It's a salvia, same one I picked up at wal mart, it said annual on the tag.

a bkue somethign I can't remember for sure. But I am sure it's a salvia

ooops I mean a blue something. *L*

I can't remember the excat name but I know that's what I got because I rarely buy plants and I got those for a container, some blue ones and some red ones

Looks like it was

Does it look like this Salvia azurea ?

Very close match - the leaves on the one I have in the picture are more narrow though.
