Lori - you grow so many fascinating plants that it is thoroughly inspiring. I haven't come across that nice Serratula; the only species seen here is seoanei, not quite flowering yet and with purple flowers. Those white flowers are very distinctive. Is it another plant from wild collected seed?

Jasione heldreichii is one of the nicest late flowering alpines in our garden and loves cracks and crevices between rocks - quite a robust plant growing to around 18" across but dying right back in the winter.

Nice flowers on Jasione! Is it flat or is that just a trick of the photo?
