The plant is a Carduus crispus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carduus_crispus
After my first comment I noticed to the flower which is small and realized my mistake... Its small Lamprachaenium(or similar from Asteraceae family) plant flower.
Damn...some times I confused with inner and outer wing shades.. :)
# AshishNimkar yes you did, but I was writing at the same time! :))
Frank I immediately acknowledged..!!
No! its not a Gray Pansy but a Common Blue :)
Sorry Common Blue..!!
No doubt..Gray Pansy...!!
