I probably shoulve mentioned that these flowers were only about 3mm accross and the plants were tall and slender. Im pretty certian this is not pattersons curse, but ill do a bit more research before i suggest something else

I saw plants like this recently in the same area. Could it be Anchusa arvensis?
