Right at the top of the Frisbee playing part of the garden I found a tiny patch of these lovely flowers. There are only a few of them and they are much smaller and more delicate than I remember from seeing Forget Me Nots in the past. I remember them being tall and rather hairy looking. I love the way these have buds of pale mauve (which do have little hairs on them) that turn into pale pink flowers and then these become blue. So you see the full spectrum in the sprig.
Incidentally, I forgot to wear my bug shirt in my haste to get out and was bitten by a black fly. Note to self: Do not forget the bug shirt in the future!

Our lawn is full of them. I love them!
Thanks very much +Marilou Aballe
+Ursula Klepper – yes, it's here at last, though going down to 6 degrees again on the weekend. 🙁 . The fly bit is a bit swollen, and bled a lot, the way they do. But not too serious. It has taught me to put my bug shirt on, without fail. Thanks Ursula.
Thanks so much +Bette Kauffman – yes, almost hairless, except that the leaves and buds have some. I'm glad you liked it.
Thank you very much +Paul Brown – it's Joni's favourite colour, too! 😉
+Sumit Sen – thanks a lot.
We did, didn't we, +Karin Nelson and then today so did +Steven Kennard with his heart shaped offering. They are everywhere and every one's a winner. 😀
+Mike Goodwin :o)

You and +Mike Goodwin had the same muse today. 🙂
Beautiful capture!
I am a sucker for blue! Great shot Ellie!
Beautiful contribution to #wildflowerwednesday, +Ellie Kennard! Our forget-me-nots here in Louisiana are, indeed, very hairy. I have never seen any quite like this. Lovely!
So beautiful this tiny little ones, you captured them so well! I am glad spring has finally exploded in all corners of your garden. I hope it's not too bad with the flight bite!
So dainty beautiful! Love this!
+Leslie Sutton – 😀 how lovely of you to say.
You are right, +Doug Welch – but it is almost out of her zone (invisible fence) and so doesn't risk too much, happily. Thanks!
+Valerie Holbert – I am so glad to think I brought a smile to your face, Valerie. Thank you.
Beautiful pretty little flowers 🙂 🙂 🙂 makes me smile
Frisbees and Borders are not a good mix for small flowers. Lovely +Ellie Kennard
Certainly forget you not Ellie 🙂
Thanks a lot, +Shelly Gunderson
How pretty!
