Speedwells are low growing plants usually with blue or lilac flowers. Habitat helps identify them as some are in cultivated or even bare ground, others in short grass while a few like damp conditions. Leaf shape and flower detail also help. Germander speedwell, Veronica chamaedrys, is common in rough grass and the edge of hedges. It has a white centre to a very bright blue flower and toothed leaves in pairs with no stalks. There are nearly 20 widely distributed species in Britain as well some rare ones. A good wild flower book will have more details.
