Need ID on this one.

Mesilla Park, NM

The leaves on this are pretty large. Found it about 1 mile from my house in a field of cotton.. Can you believe I spotted it from the Hiwy..?? The flowers looked dark blue/purple when I saw it at about 11:00 AM and I pulled out three plants at 4:00 PM and all the flowers were closed, and have them soaking in superthrive/water.. they perked right up. There is even a bud on it, so hopefully it will bloom in the morning.

Now, this is the second flower..

The one to the Left hand side is Ron's Hederacea med-blue and the one on the Right hand side is the one from the field.. a little bit darker.. Well, I drove by there a couple of hours ago and they had plowed all those MGs under.. but, I have those plants, so maybe they will take.
