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.

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!
