Pale blue thing in forget-me-not family whose name I can't remember.

This is teasing my brain! It could be:-
Pulmonaria ... Omphalodes ... Brunnera ... Borage ... Myosotis (of
course!). I'm sure there are others, but that's all I can think of for
now.
Does any of that help?

Omphalodes, I think. That was the name that was buzzing around in my
head, but I didn't have time to check when I posted. It came with some
seed packet of mixed annuals which I sowed very late.




Good. Nice to get an id. Charming plants.

Whoops! Should have read this first. I've just posted on that. It's
astonishing how much is in flower, even for Tresco!

variegated Lamium, Fuchsia microphylla, Rhododendron Christmas Cheer,
Lonicera purpusii, Viburnum tinus, Sarcococca confusa, Sarcococca
Purple Stem, a single unknown white Camellia with a very small flower,
Mahonia lomarifolia, Mahonia Winter Sun, Mahonia baileyii, Berberis
Darwinii, unknown Berberis, a white lace cap Hydrangea which is more
holding on than actually flowering and the same for a mobcap Hydrangea,
Salvia confertiflora also holding on, Nemesia Bluebird, Camellia
Cherub, Camellia sasanqua Narumigata, Jasminum nudiflorum, Chaenomeles
Knaphill Scarlet, white Vinca, Clematis balearica, Hamamelis mollis,

tree, Buddleia officinalis, (we think) Euonymus hamiltonianus, Pieris
Mountain Fire, low-growing cream flowered Comfrey, probably

Some of these are flowering quite profusely, others are just holding on
like the Hydrangeas and others like Lonicera tartarica are slowly
building to flowering more strongly.
