      Buxbaums speedwell. I love it, but its a Tree for self seeding.

      When I was a kid, I used to pick the leaves as they resemble tiny Cabbages, I loaded up the back of the Corgi Landrover & drove them off to market.

        Getting too complex there Silver, always remember the blue haze they caused across the playing field when Mum took me to nursery, must have been 3 or 4 years old.

        Keep em if you've still got a Corgi land rover to play with Joolzs.

        Veronica's are ridiculously complex to ID which is why a lot of books don't even include a key:doh:

          Germander speedwell is Veronica chamaedrys and is a native British wild flower, so possible.
