   I do think that seedlings can appear around flowering forget-me-nots

  I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

  Forget-me-nots are in full bloom here, but in some parts of the garden I find what seems to be a different sort of forget-me-not. It does have longer leaves and is a taller, looser, leafier plant, not in flower yet, but has fewer flowers than the usual ones.. Perhaps a wild version?

  I pulled up one of the largest seedlings to give a better look at it.
  
  
  
  I couldn't smell anything when I crushed the leaves

  I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

  2 looks like more willowherb to me, maybe one of the smaller kinds (there are lots). If you're not sure, you can leave it until it flowers.
