        Gorgeous. I tried growing these a few years ago, and failed miserably.

        Lovely flower Pam is it 'Venice Blue'. I've grown them this year and apart from the expected colour above I've had white, pink striped and this one below all on the same plant. The middle of the flower isn't blurred, that's actually what it looks like. :)
