? 2mm in diameter

aw, bless!

Sweet!

very sweet Pims...

but what is it......lol

not speedwell, not birdseye??????

is this any help

http://www.birdmom.net/wildflowersblue.html

Leaves are wrong for Birdseye?

That is a good site though.

i quite liked it cos it had pictures!!!

has to be a speedwell .................don't you think?

I thought it was a Hepatica, but the leaves are all wrong. Doesn't speedwell have more petals?? I will look at mine closely tomorrow . . .

doesnt look like a speedwell leaf either to me

will have a look in my book???

It is miniscule..i tried to touch it and the flower fell off instantly.

is it Bugloss???

i would say it was speedwell Pims 'Veronica Montana' the leaves look a little different but that could be we're looking at the flowering spike leaves....

nope, found it

i think

green alkanet??

'roughly hairy biennial of hedgerows and roadside verges. widely naturalised as a garden escape and commonest in the SW. Leaves large, oval and pointed; basal ones stalked. Clusters of bright blue flowers, 2 -3 mm across; appear April - July' Collins Complete British Wildlife

although now i take another look at it i'm not as positive :-))

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentaglottis_sempervirens

no..and no Sticki..Green Alkanet has to many petals..

ok back to the drawing board ~ well the book!!

It is close, very close to the ground ...I will see if I took another pic.

oh, short plant then??

I thought it was blue Pimpernel for a moment...but no.

you could have told us that and i would have believed you

one possibility is germander speedwell

or common field-speedwell

Very good. But see those stamen...not there on my pics??

they fell off when you dropped it??????????

this one?

http://www.naturalmedicinalherbs.net/herbs/v/veronica-arvensis=corn-speedwell.php

No..lol. The moment I touched them to get a better pic..not rough..the slightest touch..the flower dropped.

I will take more tomorrow.. Will use new camera as well.

more homework tomorrow??????????????

veronica-arvensis=corn-speedwell

very similar..but no...it grows like thyme..flat to the floor.

I would be getting cross with me now.

Nahh . . . just smiling at you Pimm's :)))

;) It only opens in full sun as well :/

we should be given a degree if we ever find the answer to this!!

you sure its not a sun flower turned blue with cold???

Pims How about Hedyotis crassifolia, maybe :-) this was driving me nuts last night, :-))

lol..sorry guys not that either..just found my wild plant book...Amy is quite good at wildflowers I may give her a nudge.

try this pimms, i dont have all the answers

Think it has to be one of the speedwells..

I think it's Germander speedwell, growing through something else with a thick hairy leaf!!

No, the thick hairy leaf is the plant...have a new pic that gives you the scale better but is more baffling.

I've had such a giggle reading all the comments, now I can't remember what I wanted to say!!! I think that's know as a senior moment??lol

Welcome to our world Tracey. :)
