Blue Linum

A few years back, I purchased a mess of flower seeds..perennials I believe. The flower pictured was among them. I cannot find what it is anywhere, and I really enjoy them and would like to find more seeds. I hope you can help me out.
Thanks!
Sincerely,

It looks to me that you have Linum perenne also known as perennial flax.  The most common is a cultivar called Blue Saphir.   I would try your local garden center first.  They may have the plants already up and ready to plant in the ground or they may carry seed packets of blue flax.  You could also try garden seed companies online.  We sell Ferry Morse Seed at our garden center and I know that they carry blue flax seed.

Good luck!
