Actually, Japie, if it is what I think it is it probably won't open up much more than that. Looks like a cross of Ae. fasciata and nudicaulis.

Here is a link that might be useful: {{gwi:477540}}

Thanks Lisa, It looks very much alike, execpt the little flower buds seem very yellow and in the picture of Fascicaulis I see no yellow. But I will take a picture every day and see how it develops and when 'fully open' I will post another picture

Well, it's some kind of nudicaulis hybrid anyway, possibly a different clone of the same cross.

Lisa, so the actual flowers turned out to be blue! You still think it could be fascicaulis? What about an organensis crossed with nudicaulis? But, mind you, I tend to think pink, but fasciata DO have blue petals!

Fasciata has blue flowers, and so does 'Fascicaulis'. Organensis would not give the kind of silver-scurfed foliage you're seeing, either. I still think it's the same cross, just a different clone.
