 It is traditional to include a picture to aid ID, if possible.

Hi Lindyloo, welcome to WAB.
I'm looking forward to seeing this plant from the Lleyn, (just up the road from me).
Any chance of a photo?

Pretty blue flower in Images!
Had a go at keying it - Borage family?

Looks like a garden escape to me; a form of Borage, Borago pygmaea. |

Yes! Corsican Borage. Has escaped a long way.

I'm pretty sure it's Slender Borage - Borago pygmaea. A rare garden escape.

Lyndyloo, there are only half a dozen records of this plant in Britain, and one of them is on the Lleyn!
A great find; was it near Nefyn?

Borago pygmaea has been known for decades from the cliffs past Porthdinllaen (village on the beach) where it escaped and went wild on the hillside.
Is that where you found it? | | | |
