    Hi Asarum.  I don’t think so.  The flowers were dainty little blue ones.  Almost vinca-like

    I agree, maybe the little blue flowers were from Speedwell, it’s a bit early for Self Heal to be flowering in most areas.
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Any chance you could post some more photos?

    I’ll grab another picture tomorrow.  The flowers have been over for a few weeks now.  They started back in April time ish

    As Lyn says it’s a bit early for Self heal to be flowering, so it wouldn’t have finished.  My money’s on Prunella 😀

    I think there are two plants in the first of your latest photos.  There is a violet, which was probably the flower you saw. The other is definitely Self heal and will flower soon.  Hope that helps.
