Bugloss Borage/Forget-me-not family
Anchusa arvensis Boraginaceae

Bugloss grows on arable land, so is less common than it used to be due to the use of modern weedkillers. It is a very bristly plant, with the bases of the bristles being swollen. The flowers are bright blue with a white centre, and a curved corolla-tube.
