Re: Mystery flower

Barry:
 
Looks like Geranium incanum, one of our most assertive of Geraniums.  This one's from South Africa.  Bears fine grayish foliage.  Creeps (rooting where it toouches ground) and climbs (into shrubbery).

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.
