My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Need help with this ID

3 years ago

I have a spreading (very slowly) ground cover with small pale blue flowers which I planted over 25 years ago, and it is still going strong. I can't remember what it is, and I want to get more. The blooms (pics below) are about 1.2 inches in diameter, and the foliage is strappy (also pic below). It has 6 pointed petals with a very dark stripe on the reverse, which shows through as a pale stripe on the front of the petals.


I tried to look it up, and found isotoma fluviatillis. Some of the pictures of blooms look identical to my plant, but the foliage is completely different.


Any thoughts or ideas or guesses would be very much appreciated - here are the photos of mine:
