This tiny flower adds a splash of vivid blue to the Connemara hillsides. It can also be a pink colour as in the photograph below. I am presuming that this is the heath milkwort (Polygala serpyllifolia), although it is hard to distinguish it from the Common Milkwort.

I highly recommend the new edition of Zoe Devlin's book The Wildflowers of Ireland: A Field Guide.
