    These blue flowers we found in Australian section of Alpine garden, they are just too beautiful to be a weed.

    Probably Anagallis arvensis subsp. foemina (Blue Pimpernel) growing as a weed.

    Tanzania is in Africa (mixup with Tasmania? ;-)

    Yes, thank you, I realized myself later that it is African and it cannot be here.
    We thought it grows as a weed without label here but so beautiful that we had doubts
