RE: Color Challenge - Saturday Indigo - Mystery Flower
I think this is ground-ivy (Glechoma hederacea). It is known under a great many other English names as well.

Really. I would never have guessed that @ocrdu.
Just checked. I don't think it is. These plants are upright and the flowers are about 1" or more long. Too big for ground ivy.
Nice try though! 😁
So is Glechoma hederacea, especially when in bloom.
Ten to 25mm, so not unusual for Glechoma hederacea; it's a variable-size species.
The flowers are a dead ringer for Glechoma hederacea, in every detail. I would be very surprised it this isn't ground ivy. But I've been surprised before; I think it was in 1982.
Ha, ha, ha. Since you're so sure @ocrdu I'm going to go with ground ivy then. Maybe I was looking at a different species because the picture I saw on Google looked nothing like the one in real life.
But I just looked again and found another photograph that does look like it.
