These purplish-blue flowers are very common in Alaska, we saw them everywhere on our 2-week trip. The long, pointed fruits of the Geranium are interesting, the 5 seeds are located in small cups until they ripen. When the fruits mature they split from the bottom to the top point, throwing the seeds away from the plant. The mosquitoes just about ate me alive as I made this picture outside our bed and breakfast in Wasilla!
These blue flowers are common roadside plants. I found these growing in a field of a "Skeleton Forest," which is a remnant of the 1964 magnitude 9.2 Alaska Earthquake. The town of Seward was devastated by a tremendous tidal wave. The land in many coastal areas sunk up to six feet, drowning the trees in saltwater, leaving behind the "Skeleton Forests."
There were many of these tiny plants blooming near the mountain lodge at Alyeska Ski Resort near Girdwood.
