Wahlenbergia gloriosa is a brilliant royal blue to almost violet in colour, and grows at high altitude in Namadgi National Park. To ID suburban Wahlenbergias to species level, you need to provide a side on photo of the flower and photos of the stem and at least two leaves good enough to show the hairs, if present.
