    I would like to identify the small blue flowers that bloom in my lawn about the time the crocuses start to fade. as I said they are blue, have 15 or 16 pedals and are about one inch in diameter. I have attached a photo. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thank you very much. Funny how knowing its name doesn't make it any more beautiful, but a part of me needed to know it.
