Mystery flower

While on break today, I was walking around and noticed
the following flower poking up through a hedge of
evergreen currant (Ribes viburnifolium):

Except, I have no idea what this flower is. There were
about 15 to 20 others standing above the hedge (the
flowers obviously sprung up after it was clipped). I
didn't see it elsewhere and away from that hedge. I've
never seen it before, but it was striking in its
blue/purple/pink tones. Anyone have a clue?

The location is Seaside, California, which is the next
town north of Monterey.
