We cannot say which of the four blue species that occur locally this is but I would say likely L.gibbosa

There were no leaves, would they be the way to ID? Maybe they were munched?

Yep basal or cauline leaves (if present) are needed, technically also seeds if you are putting it through the key properly. To be honest though I wouldn't consider L.simplicicaulis at this site. It'd be L.browniana and L.gibbosa I think.
