I have two forms of Triteleia laxa. One has dark flowers and that spread out a little more than the other, which is a light to medium blue. I got these several years ago so I've forgot which one is "supposed" to be which. One was allegedly 'Queen Fabiola' and the other 'Corrina'. Based on a Google search I don't see much consistency in the identification. Also, it appears that 'Corrina' may not be a cultivar name but rather species synonym (lowercase) for T. laxa.

johnscheepers.com/catview.cgi?_fn=Item&_recordnum=3010&_category=Best:Brodiaea Corrina "Star-shaped blooms of deep blue-violet with violet-purple tips and darker midveins."

http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/83645/index.html PF 'Queen Fabiola' is light blue
johnscheepers.com/catview.cgi?_fn=Item&_recordnum=3014&_category=Best:Brodiaea Queen Fabiola "clusters of blue-violet, star-shaped flowers with darker midveins"
brentandbeckysbulbs.com/spring/productview/index.php?sku=39-0104 "large, dark blue, up-facing bells in loose clusters" - picture looks artificially blue

(Edited to remove http from hyperlinks, DG doesn't like querystrings)

Here is one of mine (darker blue/violet)
