Veronica repens.

i thought the scale was a cane/walking stick at first ... lol ...

Thanks gg

Rechecked all my books (UK flora) - nada!

Checked online and discovered a plant that would do very nicely on the top of my hedge. Thank you, very much!

Checked all the plants I bought last year, only to discover I bought one, amongst a bunch I got to go into some planters. I presumed it, like a couple of others in the planters, were just swamped out of existance. They were VERY over planted.

I must have put it on the hedge and totally forgotten about it.

There are also a couple of others that were obviously planted, but what are they? Only time will give me flowers and then the fun can begin.
