The flowers are arranged in a loose cluster and have ten filaments – five of which are fertile – and five styles. The leaves are pinnate to pinnate-pinnatifid, and the long seed-pod, shaped like the bill of a stork.

Haha, there's no blue in mountains yet, soon will be...this is the most likely to blue I could find! Great, I have one buyer for my future blue book :) :)
I hope that you are surrounded by a world of blue now! Looks like the spring found its way to Croatia :) I will buy your book on blue in nature, the day it is published! :)
