deep blue wildflower

Thanks to all for the other identification. As you might see, I'm working on my backlog from the summer. I spent nearly 30 minutes researching this flower but can't find anything close.

So what do you think. I was thinking something in the Campanula or Gentiana genus?

TKS in advance

Veronica sp.

 

Yes, Veronica teucrium perhaps.

 

Thanks all

Veronica looks good. Less certain about the teucrium. After being pointed toward Veronica I am wondering if it might be Veronica austriaca or Veronica chamaedrys. But, I think I read there are 500 sp of Veronica. Might need a scanning electron microscope to know for sure :) .

Its simpler than you think - Veronica chamaedrys has two rows of hairs on the opposite sides of stem; plant is 10-40 cm high and V. teucrium has stem hairy around; plant to 1 m high.

 

PS Veronica teucrium is now considered just a subspecies of Veronica austriaca. Sorry for the confusion.
