By the time you notice Corn Salad (Valerianella locusta) in flower it is past its best as a salad vegetable. It is grown commercially,especially in France, and picked when it is just a rosette. Other names are Lambs' Lettuce, Mache or Doucette.
Corn Salad in the wild often grows in rather infertile ground and so not so succulent.
The tiny, pale blue flowers are in clusters, and almost invisible they are so small. Give yourself five points if you spot one of these plants.
