Lobelia?


Lobelia?

Bought this large plant at a Plant Fair last month. Seller said it was a type of lobelia, but I have lost the label. Does anyone know what variety of Lobelia it is? Has large dark green glossy leaves and the flowers are just opening. April 2012.

It isn't Lobelia .... It could be Brunnera ??

I sent this picture to a more horticulturally knowledgeable friend of mine. She has identified the plant as Myosotidium Hortensia (otherwise known as Chatham Island forget-me-not). It is endemic to the Chatham Islands of New Zealand, and I must over-winter it. Thanks for your suggestion. The 'expert' at the Show who sold it to me was quite wrong to say it was a form of Lobelia!

Dunno what it is M, but it's very pretty
