Omphalodes (Navelwort)

Not much flowering at the moment; a few straggly flowers left over from last year, but I spotted the tiny blue forget-me-not like flowers of the omphalodes. It's native to Turkey, and forms a mound of mid-green oval foliage, topped with the starry, bright-blue blooms.

The middle of each month would seem to be a good time to look round the garden to take stock of what is in flower.
