True. May be my eyes, but what about Forget me not?

Yep. Could well be. A clearer photo will really help.

I will endeavour to take a better picture when I return to the spot on Wednesday, it's absolutely everywhere on site and I was thinking of using it as coverage for a large rockery I'm building for somebody.

Spring has hit the bottom of my garden, time to give this thread a bounce

Hello - a relative gave me a cutting about six months ago. I forgot all about it for a few weeks and left it on a shelf, then popped it in a pot just in case, and miraculously it has grown. Does anyone know what it is and what i should do with it? It's very floppy and can't hold its own weight so is propped against a window at the minute.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

First glance, I thought saxifraga.
Second guessing myself after that

It's a Plectranthus (unless they've changed its name) and usually a trailing plant. It's almost bomb-proof.
If you remove a stem or leaf and rub the open wound onto your hand, it turns orange.

Hmmm interesting, is it likely to burst into colour?

Felt very much like spring today in Dorset

Great, thank you. What should I do with it?! Pop it in a bigger pot outside when it warms up, or should it go in a border?
