They are so dainty and pretty ! just have done a little on line research , and they may well be "Blue-eyed grass" - Sisyrinchium Augustifolium ! ( a little research more favourable than going up-stairs to do a little dusting !! 😉)

@beryl@merrelyn@k9photo@falcon11@illinilass@illinilass Many thanks to those who have identified it correctly! Who would have thought that it is native to SA and called blue corn lily! @illinilass How did you go about finding it Dorothy, I would not know where to start ;-)
Pretty flowers and a lovely composition with the diagonal branch and your nice soft dof! How wonderful that 365 friends could identify these blue flowers for you, Diana! Fav

Since sometime last year on my iPad photos where there is a I with a circle around it. Info. Mine has the capability to identify plants, birds, landmarks! It just appeared out of the blue, I assume with an update! I hope I have explained it well.
