Scutellaria species

[Roma]

Can anyone identify the following Scutellaria species please?  It is a seedling which appeared in a pot of Androsace albana bought from Kevock nursery.  The Androsace which was a very attractive pink form died and a seedling appeared which grew into a rosette reminiscent of some gesneriads.  Till it flowered I hadn't a clue what it might be.

I don't know what your scutellaria is, but there are some keys to scutellaria at the Flora of China site that may be helpful:

Roma, your Scutellaria looks like the one I grow as S.albida. It is native to Bulgaria and presumably much of the Balkans too.
The plant grown as Androsace albana is one I have also had as A.armena and A.macrantha from seed exchanges. Very interesting in their 'taller' growth forms, but for me they are always monocarpic.

Thanks Lori and Simon for your replies.
I still have the scutellaria in a pot as I was unsure whether it was clump forming or a runner, but it seems to be well behaved so must get it planted out. 
I got seed off the Androsace albana and sowed some but it didn't germinate.  I think I still have some in the fridge so must try again.

The Scutellaria albida is a clump-former, but does seed a lot if not cut back. If you leave the pot of Androsace out over winter it could still germinate. I have had germinations from these types after 2years.

It looks like the white form of the little one called S. indica v. japonica. Could be indica alba or something like that.

I am trying to remember- doesn't S.indica run underground? In which case they should be easy to identify when the plants are a little bigger. S.albida doesn't run.

 I thought they all tended to scoot underground.... hence their name?

Lol, some of mine just 'shoot' around though seed from stems I should have deadheaded!

I think indica japonica and it's white counterpart DO scoot underground a bit, to make small patches. They also seed about in a mild way.
