Threadleaf Phacelia: The 130th Flower of Spring and Summer!

Threadleaf Phacelia: The 130th Flower of Spring and Summer!
2 more pictures above in notes! :)

Have you ever grown anything from seeds before? It's really amazing to think that a huge plant could come from a little speck you put in some dirt and added water to! A few years ago, I got a bunch of different flower seeds for my first time and I planted them in little pots on our back deck to see if they would grow. This flower looks like one of the types I planted, so I think some seeds must have blown off the deck and found their way to this little area down by our well house.

From Wiki:
Phacelia linearis, with the common name Threadleaf phacelia, is a species of phacelia. It is native to western North America from western Canada to Wyoming to northern California, where it grows in forest, woodland, open scrub, and other habitat.

A HUGE THANK YOU AND HUG to my ipernity Pod Sister, Pam J, who solved the mystery of this flower, which I couldn't identify!

Eine sehr schöne Blüte, Janet!
Aber es ist keine Phazelie, sondern eine Kornrade (Agrostemma githago).

In Deutschland ist diese Art vom Aussterben bedroht. Deshalb habe ich die Kornrade in meinem Garten ausgesäht.
