I have a couple really pretty things growing that I want to know what they are and should I help myself to some when I move from here...

One grows all down the drive on the wall, I thought when I first saw it that is was rosemary but all it smells like is 'green'...I knew it wasn't rosemary when I got close, haha, the flowers have such an AMAZING sear your eyes blue, these pics were taken on an overcast day (overcast in Seattle? NEVAH!)

Oh, you betcha, I am so going to collect seed when they seed up...wait, I can bring you some plugs in July! They should be nice and tough, grow like weeds so you should be able to box em and toss them in a checked bag!

Could the blue one be a forget-me-knot?

Then again, they all should seed by then, I will be keeping an eye on them (as well as this little pretty, I have cream oriental pappies...my mom in law was telling me they grow easy if YOU plan them, they just don't like to do it on their own and are one of the hardest to find...want some? ) I do have a pic at more of a full bloom, but this does enough justice

I though maybe so, but the leaves are wrong for that....

My first thought on the first pic was the prostate (??? I think thats right) rosemary, the draping kind. But now I don't know, all of them are pretty though. trudy

The trailing blue flowered plant is Lithodora diffusa.

Hey rach,

I agree on the forget-me-not. Pic #3 I believe is a hyacinth of sorts, perhaps what we call a woods hyacinth.

All are very attractive, and if I were you you i would take samples with me when I moved.... even if its only seed.

The cream poppy is a beauty.... very attractive.

I could pack some plugs in with my Japanese Maple. I have it all planned to make sure that baby makes it home safe.
