I had hoped you'd see my post (knowing what I do about you and plants :) ).
So on the right side of that picture there are three purple/blue-flowered plants all growing right up next to and among the others.
In the far back is "Pride of Madeira" (Echium fastuosum) - a disappointment in the pollinator department, though the flower spires are pretty.
In front of that is "Russian Sage" (Perovskia atriplicifolia "Blue Spire") - a bit pungent, but a pretty color and the bees will accept it when their favorites aren't available.
And in front of that, with long purply-blue flowers is " Wooly Bluecurls" that you might know as Romero (Trichostema lanatum) which the bumblebees seem to like. This plant smells really good!
