Omphalodes verna

Could be, but it looks exactly like Green Alkanet, Pentaglottis
sempervirens. What are the distinguishing features between these two?

Fide Stace, Omphalodes verna is rhizomatous and stoloniferous, and
Pentaglottis sempervirens isn't.

Thanks :-)
Well, we can't tell those from the pic.


Pentaglottis is quite a stiffly hairy/bristly plant? That is also
hard to tell from the picture but the poster can check that more
easily that the roots. Even as a field botanist, 30 years ago, I
could never make head nor tail of stolons and rhizomes (while on hands
and knees in the rain in dense vegetation) and it is a very
destructuve field character (having to pull up plant to see roots). I
go with Pentaglottis.
