Kalm's Lobelia / Lobelia kalmii

Totally misleading, as any macro or supermacro shot is! This beautiful Kalm's Lobelia flower (and others) was found when botanizing Elkton Bog, near Cremona, on 30th July. This was a new plant for us, so we were excited and happy : ) Unfortunately, my camera turned the blue into a pale purple!

"Lobelia kalmii is a species of flowering plant with a distribution primarily across Canada and the northern United States in temperate and boreal regions. It was formerly known as Lobelia strictiflora (Rydb.) Lunell and has a variety of English names including Kalm's lobelia, Ontario lobelia and Brook lobelia. Lobelia kalmii is a small plant (10 - 40 cm) of wet environments such as bogs, wet meadows, and rocky shorelines, including wet alvars, where it grows in calcareous soil or cracks between limestone rocks. It has small (1 cm) blue flowers , with a white center and has thin upper leaves and spatulate basal leaves. It starts flowering in July, lasting into September." From Wikipedia.
