Beautiful salvias. Probably a Victoria/Mealy Blue or Indigo Spires. I'll bet the hummingbirds and butterflies LOVE that stand of salvia!

Right you are, BudgieLover. I always expect Bush Sage to be purple, with the fuzzy white tufts, forgetting that they come in several shades and textures. And the foliage is different from the ones I mentioned.

The Speedwell has more serrated leaves. It's hard to tell by the flowers. Are you able to get a clearer photo of the flowers up close?
