Omphalodes linifolia
Also called Whiteflower navelwort, Venus's Navelwort
Iberodes linifolia (syn. Omphalodes linifolia), whiteflower navelwort, is a small annual of dry open ground that grows 30 to 40 cm tall with blue-green foliage and tiny white flowers. It needs full sun and free-draining soil, and it self-seeds readily.
Iberodes linifolia (syn. Omphalodes linifolia), also known as Venus's navelwort, white-flower navelwort and petite bourrache, is an annual species of flowering plant native to the Iberian Peninsula and western France, but has naturalized elsewhere in Europe, North Africa, North America and Chile. The plant is small, growing to 30–40 cm (12–16 in) tall by 15 cm (6 in) wide, with blue-green foliage and tiny white or off-white flowers in Spring and Summer. It is distributed throughout dry open areas in full sun.
The Latin specific epithet linifolia means “with leaves like flax (Linum)”.
