I have just added 2 pics of blooms to PF. Hopefully, they will be approved soon and made available to you. Again, please note that I don't think they are good representations of what the plant is capable of and for this reason I hesitated to add them to PF. However, your request coupled with the fact that we still don't have any other photos of the flowers brought me to the conclusion that imperfect pictures may be better than none. As I mentioned, I failed to plant my blue mist. I kept it in a 6" pot on my patio (a N exposure) behind a number of larger plants where it received almost no sun and only rain water. For most of the summer the soil was like concrete. I am amazed that it is even alive (and even now adding new leaves in preparation for spring). Below is yet another pic. The leaves have lost their yellow color because of the lack of light. Note the extreme distance between leaves, an obvious indication of poor light.

I hope, however, that this will give you an idea as to what the flowers look like. Just imagine these flowers on the foliage at top.
