    Heya,

    Its just started growing in my garden, I haven't brought it or anything, but I don't know if its a weed - there is another one on Tilly's side of the garden which has more of the blue flowers on...

    If anyone could help, I'd appreciate it :)

    Hugs,

    Jen

    Morning

    1) Cranesbill (perennial geranium)
    3) A begonia? (not sure actually)
    4) Pieris of some sort?

    The one in your second post looks like Borage. It self seeds freely but its an annual so easy to control. The flowers look pretty and are put in salads or frozen in ice cubes. The plant can get huge!

    The first looks like a geranium of somekind.

    Second, haven't got a clue.

    Third,tuberous begonia

    Forth,looks like a very sick choysia (Mexican orange blossom), or it could be "sundance" that tends to look like that anyway.

    Fifth, Leptospermum?

    Sixth, Gentian?

    Seventh, Its a weed, some kind of wild borage.
