          Methinks you've got a HAND growing there!

          No idea what the green stuff around it is though (better ask a gardener)!

            I like this picture guide to weeds, but it's not on there

            No, not that site, I like this one better
            Green alkanet has fat/broad leaves, yours are more straplike

              That second one, is the one I used. I only went for Alkanet because of the flower.

              Bins, can we have a clearer picture please, Hon?

                I think it's one of those everlasting flower thingies. Don't know the name. The leaf isn't like alkanet.

                    I'm stumped, I've never seen it before. I've just trawled through pages and pages of google images (minus the ten million pages of "weed: cannabis") - nothing like yours has appeared

                      Perhaps it's a relation of forget-me-not? The flowers are similar (although the leaves are more point on yours) - and forget-me-not flowers at this time of year and spreads like there is no tomorrow.

                        Could it be some kind of Thistle?

                          I thought the leaves and rossette formation looked a bit thistley too (but I was too shy to say )
