          Hmmmmm - I remember seeing loads of the cornflowers there last year though, and don't remember seeing any forget me nots :scratch:

          Ah well, I shall ask for a photo of them once they flower and will find out then (these are not in my garden, but that of a friend)

              Friend and Foe there FC.

              Agree with longk, they look like Forget me Nots, but the other plant, to the bottom right of the photo is Ragwort. Best got rid of.

                I spotted the Ragwort too Trunky. Considering it's supposedly a plant that has to be controlled by legal requirement, it runs riot here on the island and it's still our National flower! :doh:

                  Forget-me-Nots???..........I love them, both White and Blue varieties. My borders are too full for them spread greatly but just enough to have patches of them here and there.:hapydancsmil::snork:
