Cucumber herb


Cucumber herb (Trigonotis peduncularis)

Very tiny flowers with pale blue colour, about 3 - 4 mm, come out from the lowest bud to the top one in order. The flower is just like 'Forget-me-not'.
I pull them out every year, but It comes out without being extinct.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
They are too small for us to attract any notice, moreover pale blue, so not attractive.
The photo was taken by using macro function, so the size is more than three times real one, provably this is the reason for waxy and unreal appearance.
If I can collect a lots of seeds this year, I will plant them in a shallow pot of 30 - 40 cm across.
