Blue flowering weed and possible maple

Hi guys,

We have a "rubble area" down the bottom of our garden full of weeds that's gone wild. I've recently noticed some blue flowers in there. I think the plant on the left of the picture might be wild forget me not, any ideas what the plant with the dark blue flowers on the right of the photo is? The flowers themselves look similar to forget me not but the leaves and plant itse lf is much larger. Is it a plant? Or a weed?

Also I've identified a large twig that's budding as being a maple (although please correct me if I'm wrong), anyone know which type?

Many thanks in advance.

 

Its a wild flower (weed if you don't want it where it is), and its quite common, but for the life of me I can't remember its name. Someone will be along to remind us soon I'm sure.

 

Looks rather like the Borage that I'm over-run with here...............



Thankfully the caterpillars seem to like them!

 

I'm pretty sure its not borage. Borage is much more showy and the flowers sort of droop on arched stems.

 

1.Looks like Pentaglottis sempervirens.

2. Too many different Acers to even begin to id this pic with any degree of accuracy.

 

Sorry - I should have said Wild Borage. Not a true Borage, but of the same family. Until I moved here I just called it "river weed".

 

Pentaglottis sempervirens, common name Green alkanet is a real seed weed.
The tree looks suspiciously like sycamore to me.

 

Yes, the tree is a sycamore, no doubt about that.

 

Thanks guys, looks very much like green alkanet and sycamore. (A maple...hahaha)
