Sunshine and Forget-me-not. Fun fact (depends on your concept of ‘fun’ though I guess) but their Latin name of Myosotis comes from the Ancient Greek for ‘mouse’s ear’ because the leaves resemble these. Another horticultural stretch… perhaps they were punk mice with green hair? Who knows 😳 Anyway, very pretty, wildly prolific (read that as a choking thug if left unchecked) but extremely welcome at this time of year. Combine with Tulips or flood under deciduous shrubs; just harden your heart to pulling out most of the self seeders or remove before they can set seed otherwise you’ll be in for trouble next year #forget-me-not #myosotis #spring #garden #gardendesign #loveplants #plantsofinstagram
