I don't know what kind of thyme grows in shady places? None that I know. Where does your blue flower comfry? Perhaps it's a plant associated with big breaths?

[Ragged Robin]

Probably right off track but I grew a red flowered mint that I seem to remember had flowers a bit like that 

[WimB]

Some kind of Ajuga maybe?

While we are still puzzling over the blue bells, here what I spotted from the car as I was approaching Dunblane from Doune.

Anthony, whatever you saw must be so small (may be a caterpillar?) or may be I need new glasses   but not sun glasses

Of course, I was looking for wildlife......on second look there are drifts of flowers near the fence - bluebells?.... not sure....

A lovely plant puzzle Luit - very handsome but I'm still wondering what it is

Salvia pratensis?

mentioning bluebells there is a big hill/small mountain called Knocklayd in N Ireland that has a massive patch, many acres, of bluebells on it's side. It's amazing to see when they are in full flower

[Maggi Young]

I still don't know  what Luit's puzzle plant is! Not an exagerated enough lip and hood for a Salvia, I don't think.....

On another puzzling matter:
I was asked about a photo which appeared somewhere  in the Forum in the last while, of an unknown person, bending over, weeding, I think: can anyone remember where that photo was and if we got an answer as to who the weeder was??

[Carol Shaw]

Anthony - don't think they are blue bells or even hair bells... wood anemone 

[Paul T]

For Luit's puzzle... one of the Nepeta family?

[Anthony Darby]

You could say this is an annual event?

[Maggi Young]

Anthony, is it  Cardamine?
