It's Gettin' Hot In Here

The best shot yet of that blue volunteer from the Spiderwort family. 

Mystery Flower: Another Look

Another shot of that tiny mystery flower. Here a whole stand of the stuff flourishes, with an apparently white flower on the way. Does anyone recognize this plant...?  

(7/15/05: thanks to my pal Lili, for pointing out that this plant is something from the family known as spiderwort. Still haven't completely identified this particular strain...but now I'm on the right track!)
