United Kingdom 
Several years ago I found a plant growing in my garden I did not recognise. As I went to remove it I noticed that its appeared very attractive to the bees and as it was spring and there was not a lot of another flowers in bloom I decided to leave it alone. This was a wrong move at it is a vigorous self-seeder and the roots once established grow very deep. As it is taking over whole sections of the garden I need to identify and get rid of it.
It is a vigorous plant with large composite leaves and a small blue flower which the bees love. If you touch an established plant with bare it is almost like grasping a nettle though the discomfort is not as pronounced. Has anyone any ideas as to what it is and how to remove it.
Sorry but I am not IT savvy enough to attached a photo.

Google green alkanet (or Pentaglottis sempervirens, its proper name) - if its that, its a pig to dig out if its been in a while, very fragile, deep roots.

« Another technical question Nearly every time I log onto Goy I'm able to ask...
I wonder if it is alkanet a native flower a member of the borage family. google images and see if it is. it could well be borage too. stiffy hiary stems/leaves that are prickly but with out the sting is typical of the borage family.
welcome to GoY too :o)
