Description
There are approximately 50 species in the genus, with much variation. Most have small, (1 cm diameter or less) flat, 5-lobed blue, pink or white flowers with yellow centers, growing on scorpioid cymes. They bloom in spring. Leaves are alternate. Popular in gardens, Forget-me-nots prefer moist habitats and where they are not native, they have escaped to wetlands and riverbanks. They can tolerate partial sun and shade.

Eti, These Forget Me Nots are grand. The plant must be huge. Love the bright color. Welcome and thank you.

Thank you very much Shirley for the nice words and the feature! They were hiding between the tulips there, just tempting me to shoot them:)
