Chinese Remember Me

Chinese Forget-me-not

It’s back to my wild garden today, with one of the plants that scattered itself through the mix with these lovely tiny blue flowers. While I love the big, showy blooms we see in lilies and dahlias, these little ones on the Chinese Forget-me-not have a great appeal, partly because they don’t shout at you. They sit quietly, inviting the close look to really examine what they have to offer. That’s always easier to do from a photograph, when we have the luxury to zoom in beyond what a casual glance normally shows us. We see the different shades of blue leading to the deeper colour just around the centre. They have such a liberal display that they are the ones usually used in floral displays. Unlike the usual ones we know which are biennial, the Chinese variety is an annual. Thankfully it liberally self sows, so I am really looking forward to seeing it again next year.
