Blue green

Myosotis (Myosotis arvensis) are currently blooming everywhere around the farm.



Its name comes from the Greek: "mouse's ear", after the leaf. The color is usually blue but can also be pink or white. They are commonly called forget-me-not in English, and with the same meaning no-me-olvides in Spanish, nontiscordardime in Italian, niezapominajki in Polish and in many other languages (Danish, Dutch…).

The forget-me-not is used to symbolize remembrance by Alzheimer Society, International day for missing children, Child Focus, and for the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide…
This plant is easily spread, even in towns, like here in Brussels:
