Baa, I have this one, too! I've been wondering for some time what kind it was. It grows differently than my Mysotis sylvatica. It must have been brought in with some transplants I was given years ago.

It has taken over an entire bed, and it's begun growing between the cracks in one of my logs around a raised bed. The flowers aren't as blue as the sylvatica, but it blooms later and is perennial rather than biennial. Mine is just now beginning to fade. Soon it will all fade... it was 36 degrees F. when I got up this morning!

I'll look for pics of the scorpoides to post on the PDB.
