This pretty little wild flower is bog pimpernel - Lysimachia tenella. It grows in marshy places. I found this one growing along side sundew and pale butterwort very near to one of my adder's tongue fern spots in Argyll.

Having found it once last summer, I have been keeping an eye out, to see if is coming up anywhere else. All through this spring, I kept seeing these plants:

in various places (not just bogs.) It is almost the same but not quite right. I had to wait till this May for one to flower so that I could identify it:

New Zealand willowherb - Epilobium brunnescens. Which first got off the boat in Edinburgh in 1904 and has been spreading across the countryside ever since. Interestingly, the third record for it outside of Edinburgh is from Ardrishaig - not far from here in 1911.

It does very well in the climate of northern and western Britain and colonises wet, bare ground - ditches and forestry tracks are likely spots, but also gardens and river banks.

#3223 - Lysimachia loeflingii - Blue Pimpernel

As of 2022, the blue-flowering form of the Scarlet Pimpernel Lysimachia arvensis var. caerulea has been elevated to its own species, named after Pehr Loefling, the Swedish botanist who collected blue-flowered pimpernel plants in Spain.

Like the Scarlet, this Primula is now found in most parts of the world. Quite often right next to the other one.
