The french name for them would also be handy but I expect I can look
that up from the English or Latin.


Hey! this one I know!

In english: Lobelia or trailing lobelia
in latin : Lobelia erinus

it's an annual which will self-seed in warm climates: popular for hanging
baskets, but does need plenty of water. Lots of colours are available, and
I'm not sure of the variety name of this particular one.
