The yellow plant is a Euphorbia and I am sure that it is - amygaloides (wood spurge), this is just about 6 inches high and spreads well and doesn't mind the shade. The blue is the good old favourite forget-me-not, which invades my garden, but I love it so let it have it's way. Thanks for your kind comments

The Euphorbia might be polychroma, which is fairly short and produces an acid-yellow like this. Think E. amyglaides is a bit taller? Very nice view.

I wasn't sure of the type of Euphorbia this was, as this plant was given to me, I looked it up on the internet in order to answer Terratoonie's question and from the photograph and description I thought it was the Amygaloides. The height is between 6-8" tall and the leaves are more delicate compared with other Euphorbia whose leaves can be quite tough and more of a rosette shape than this little one. By what you are saying this one is the polychroma and another of my flowerbeds contains the Amygaloides which has darker green leaves and is taller - say 12" with a definite rosette appearance to the leaves. Thanks for pointing this out I can now label my pictures with a bit more detail and correct information. When plants come from friends' gardens unless they have the full family name it is hard to give it a proper title.
