Some form of Myosotis (forget-me-not). I don't think it's the
cultivated form.



Yep! I agree! It was sort of hanging around the edges of my tired
mind but I couldn't quite place it.

If I saw that in the UK I would identify it as Glechoma hederacea
(ground ivy)



It's Lamium amplexicaule here in the States but still a ground ivy.


Now that it's been mentioned I'd think that I'd agree with Lamium
amplexicaule. That's absent, or at best scarce, in my part of the UK,


Lucky you.

so I don't immediately recognise it.


What a few metric tons of it? I'll pay postage.
