Forget-Me-Not

Hello there, readers! It's so nice to see you again. Thank you for not forgetting me. That's it, today's topic - about a beautiful blue flower called the Forget-Me-Not.

The Forget-Me-Not is a flower native to temperate Eurasia, North America and the mountains of the Old World Tropics. There are about 50 species of the plant genus Myosotis ( family Boraginaceae). The hound's tongue (also called the Chinese Forget-Me-Not), however, belong to the plant genus Cynoglossum and is native to both the Old and New World. Nonetheless, we will only concentrate on the Myosotis today.

This tiny blue flower with a yellow center is a favourite old-fashioned flower resulting from its popularity among home gardeners for a long time. These dainty clusters of blossoms grow on compact, mould-shaped plants. They'll find a good home in today's wooded back yards and in rock gardens, too. For a fruitful product, they should be planted in a lightly shaded area.

When this five-lobed flower matures, it changes colour from pink to blue. This can be seen in the woods Forget-Me-Not (M. sylvatica). Unfortunately, I do not have a picture of it to show you.

Do you know that the Forget-Me-Not has its own day of celebration? On the 12th of November every year, people get in touch with family and friends, especially distant ones. Since Forget-Me-Nots represent true love and friendship, why not give one to your loved one today?
