Dear Members.

2 new mysteries for you.

The blue plant is growing between 2 rocks, seems to be clump forming?

The white flower is on a bush whose leaves are tiny like heather?

    The white one is a Potentilla by the look of it's stems, but it's hard to see the foliage because the photo's too blurry. I wouldn't describe their foliage as like heather though. 
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Agree with @Fairygirl, re Potentilla, but that does not fit with description of the leaves.
     No. 2 flowers look a bit like one of the campanulas.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    The blue flowers certainly look like campanula @punkdoc, but I wasn't sure of the foliage. I don't really grow them now though - apart from the harebell - C. rotundifolia, as it's 'our' bluebell here.  :)

    The second photo might be the low growing Austrian Speedwell, Veronica Austriaca.

    I think the blue flowers look like some kind of speedwell/Veronica. There are lots of kinds, from small creeping ones to ones with fairly tall flower spikes.
