Although I thought this was a thistle, I couldn’t find it by Googling it and my plant identifier said it wasn’t a flower! Finally I took a photo of my photo and reduced it in size and sharpened it and put it through the plant identifier again and sure enough, milk thistle! All in all I spent nearly an hour trying to post and identify. Crazy.
For Cee’s FOTD

Oh wow, that deep a blue is a rare color to get in flowers, is that really that deep a blue~? Pink, purple, and light blue yes, but I don’t think that I have ever seen a milk thistle that dark a blue. (Judy you didn’t use “PhotoShop on it did you~?)

No I didn’t use Photoshop. It’s a picture I took a while ago in Montenegro, so I may have boosted the color a bit, but judging from the color of the foliage, I don’t believe I did and I found a few photos on the Internet where they were a more vivid blue like this as well.
