Scottish Wildflowers

[Bugbear]

Pleater, we have a "Desert Blue Bell" (Phacelia campanularia) out here in the Southwest, and I am planning on sowing seeds. They used to grow in my grandmother's backyard, usually as a single plant rather than a patch. The reproductive parts of the flowers are yellow, and complement the blue petals in a very pretty way. Other than that, it looks like a scraggly, ugly desert weed.

Butterflies do feed on their nectar, and that is a good enough reason for planting them in my garden, but I would also like them there as a symbolic reminder of sorts.
