Can you recognise these?
I have photos of two different plants I want to identify~
all photos were taken on mid april in middle Greece along the road near cereal fields.

especially the second one is very bizzare for the boring commercial cereal plantations!

thanx!

I'll take a guess on the blue flowered plant as being Anchusa italica.

Here is a link that might be useful: Anchusa italica

I'm moving this up in case anyone knows the first plant. I'm curious!

The first plant is a salvia of some sort. Maybe posting on the salvia forum would be a good idea since a few experts hand out out over there, and they never come to this forum.

That's as blue as mecanopsis, the blue poppy, but it aint that. Could it be a geranium? I guess not. As for the others, well, it's much easier if the pic shows in the message just by toggling down.

The first is a Salvia, maybe S hormium, and the second looks like a member of the Boraginacae, something on the lines of an Anchusa or Omphalodes. Maybe Anchusa azurea?

I was curious mostly for the blue purple one.
I think you got it right!
thanx for the replies!
