Beautiful photo. That blue flower, what ever it is (not a Periwinkle, I guess), is so striking, but lovely.

@Hidalgo: I'm no flower expert, that is for sure. But from what I gather from other comments is that the color is periwinkle and the botanical name of the flower is Cichorium. Maybe the common name is periwinkle as well (I really don't know). Thanks for your comments Hidalgo!

Gorgeous composition! At first I thought this was flax, but flax doesn't have as many petals. I think you're probably correct to say it's Cichorium, but definitely not Periwinkle. Only in color, perhaps.

Nonetheless, I love this photo!
