Cultivated plant not identified

http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r102/luigi57/Immagine112.jpg

The leaves are deeply divided.
It seems to be a plant of Boraginaceae (Echium?)

Bye.

Luigi,
I just love your pictures..
You stump us *well, most of us, most of the time*
I'll keep looking though...
Maybe Rugby, Papito, Zuzu, Gardencrazy, or nmlAlba-dC15/Alba may know..
They're great guessers...

Do you happen to have another picture of the plant
in question, to show leaves, and how it comes out
of the ground, or size?????

Helping the world one seed at a time

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

I have found!
Phacelia tanacetifolia
I found it some week ago not in my garden, but in a field.
Unfortuntely I have no seed.
It is hardy to zone 0.
The plant requires well-drained soil.

Kind regards.

Luigi
