This tiny pea plant tends to have just one or two flowers per plant and grows in the grass no more than a few centimetres high. I find it with Myosotis ramosissima and typically on sandy soils or in dune systems. The flowers aren't consistent in colour. Some are a rosy purple like this and others are much nearer blue.
