I have to say it does look like the plant Salino mentioned. But the pics on google show the flower being a lot further above the plant. Maybe my eyes decieve me?
actually, just correct that Hedyotis michauxii is the same plant as Houstonia serpyllifolia... my plant is caerulea... so yes, slightly different... I'm not sure how it differs,, whether the foliage or flower is larger or smaller in some way....?

a possibility.
i'm not familiar with little plants generally but saw a pic in the big bookof plants
In the sticks near Peterborough
Thats the 1 nutcutlet!
Thanks everyone for suggestions, much appreciated
aah... there you go then.... well done...
Hedyotis is the same as Houstonia, incidentally.... I'm not sure which is the correct name now....
here it is in my garden...albeit a much smaller plant than yours...
They look strikingly similar but the one nutcutlet posted looks to be more like it. I guess its from the same species?
...it's the same plant Matt...

Nut- the Big Book of Plants
Made me giggle - sounded very Enid Blyton!
Matt- whatever they are I hope you enjoy them! Lovely collection. Have you got a big rockery area?
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Its big enough for a novice like me to take care of :P
see if you can guess what the other plants are from the photo (I know what the rest are :P)
