    Forget-me-not. The flowers often go pink when the plant is stressed - mine have been very pink or an unusually dark blue with the dry weather we have had. Have perked up after a shower of rain :)

    You can't divide them. They usually die after flowering. I think the most likely thing is that you bought pink bedding plants last year and they have seeded themselves and reverted to blue, the more common colour. If you like them then let them seed themselves and you should have even more next year.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    The pink plant might have died over the winter but in the same pot there might have been some forget me not seedlings. They do self-seed everywhere.
