picture 1 have only appeared this year, growing under trees, so in the shade but are much short and bushier. I was about to pull them out as I thought they where weeds, then I noticed the tiny flowers. Picture 2 are in full sun - then appeared last year but I don't seem to have as many this year.
I have probably dug out lots of plants thinking that they are weeds. I do try to leave them a while to see if you grow into anything.
just realised today that the taller ones are growing near to where there used to be a garden pond, so maybe that explains the difference in species. Thanks for the info mike.

They both look like forgetmenots. Is one in a sunnier part of the garden?
Picture 2 looks like mine when they seed in really poor dry soil
In the sticks near Peterborough
