I should have taken my camera, but had to make do with some samples of these which I collected today from a friend's garden.

1) Light-blue flowers (3cms diam) growing along stems with tiny leaves.

Thank you both for the positive IDs. I should have known Chickory, but it's a long time since I last saw it, and it slipped my memory.
