    Identify blue rockery flower.

    I was walking down the hill from Windermere to Bowness yesterday.
    On top of a garden wall was a blue flower with a white stripe.
    The stripe went round the middle, it was not radial.
    I quick surf it looked "like" Aubrieta or a forgetmenot type. Small about 8mm across.
    Forgot to get a picture.
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks
    Jimmy

      Maybe it was a Lithodora? I used to have one like this in my last garden:

      Lithodora diffusa Blue Star

        Took another walk, well the sun was shining and the pubs were open !
        Found the plant again, not quite what I remember.
        Blue with white edges. Zoom in to see more details.
        Only phone camera so picture not brilliant.

          Yay, I reckon I was right with Lithodora!

              Having said that, I think Martin looks like he's got it.

              Best go back for another pint just to check?
