I live in an old farm field, and I have a couple of birdfeeders out front. This spring, some beautiful blue wildflowers popped up near one of the feeders. I did check out the names of all the seeds in the birdfood I use in that feeder, but not one looks like this flower. I hope one of you can help me.
The plant stands about 15 inches high, with short,thin leaves growing vertically and alternately along the single stem. At the top are 3-5 blue flowers no more than 3/4 inch across.
It's a very pretty little flower, and I was wondering if I could move a clump of it into a container.

Gardenpaws, I think you might be right. It seems to fit the description. It blooms the second year, and two years ago I was using a different birdseed than I do now. I'm just surprised the plants thrived, since I live in southern Virginia, where the soil is mostly clay! Definitely not sandy soil. I'll have to get someone to dig up a clump of it to transplant it to a container, that way it might have a fighting chance.
