I was having a (rare) tidy up in the garden today and discovered this plant. It is about 15cm tall and the flower is about 1cm across, maybe a bit less. Not something I've seen before. I've looked on line and in various books but can't identify it.
Hope somebody can enlighten me....please.

Plantnet app has it as edging lobelia.

Thank you so much! It was driving me mad! I discovered the one lone stem in the photo directly below our balcony. At some point I must have had lobelia in the pots on the balcony and a stray seed landed in the flower bed below.
Mind you, it must have been 2 or 3 years ago at least.

I find blue lobelia popping up in all sorts of places from seed.

I just noticed some blue lobelia growing in cracks in the driveway. We've never planted any at the front.
