        I really, no *really* want to say bindweed (but that could be just sour grapes on my part :redface: ) ... maybe a campanula of some sort? :dunno:

                          Spot on. If you like it @nFrost go out and buy a blue one - they will cross pollinate and what you could end up with is a white one with the most subtle lilac edge.
