    Hi all.
    I've got some flowers I would appreciate getting help with in identifying. They are mostly from a massive garden whose owner is letting me collect seeds from and I've never seen them before so I don't know how to start. A few are from a seed mix that I don't have the package for.
    Edit: the first one is a very deep purple/blue bell type flower with very fringe-like leaves.
    The second is a tall flower that is brilliant sapphire blue.
    The last is a shorter bright pink thing.

    thank you Silversurfer.

    I think you are right about the Aster and the Delphinium for the second picture but I'm still not sure about the first which has a definite purple tine and fringelike leaves

    Sorry, you misunderstood.

    You have made a giant leap from Delphinium..... to which variety it is.
    I haven't a clue which Delphinium yours is.
    Pic is too far away to even hazard a guess.
    I was just trying to show there is more than one with fine cut leaves and 2nd link showing one of a purplish colour

    Not a giant leap actually; Delphinium ajacis fits in terms of colour and description...so do a few others. I really have no way of confirming one way or another but this got me past a hurdle in my searching.
