User's notes
A Wahlenbergia with intense blue flowers which are richer in colour than the pastel tones in a photo would suggest. Flower stems are inclined to be sprawly in shaded locations, and more erect in full sun. The sparse & very narrow leaves seem to spring primarily from the lower part of the hairy stem that supports them. The very bottom of the stem, (at least up to the 1st node) is hairy. Very common locally, (as is a another Wahlenbergia with miniature flowers. The thin stem & the leaves can be seen at the bottom of photos 4 and 3 (not to be confused with the thick green stem on the ground in the latter). (The thin stem and leaves are also in photo 1, slightly right of centre at the bottom). Seed pods can be seen at the top of photo 2, a dried one to the left of centre and a green one to the right; (also, in photo 1, towards the mid RHS edge). Photo 5 gives a more lush context in contrast with the more barren environs of photos 2 & 3.
