Please can some kind sould identify the small blue flowers in the

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

( The large pink ones are surfinias )

Thanks,

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.

Many thanks to Victoria and Iris,

You're right they must be lobelia - they're not really blue at all,
some shade of purple.

Hi Andy,

The small blue ones are Lobelia (Lobelia erinus) - Sapphire trailing or
Crystal Palace
The large pink ones are Petunia (Solanaceae) - probably Resisto Series
