Description
The sweet forget-me-nots
That grow for happy lovers
~ Alfred Lord Tennyson [fr. The Brook]
* -------------------- *
Forget-Me-Nots (Myosotis)
Myosotis arvensis; myosotis scorpiodes
Family : Boraginaceae
This legendary flower is a favorite of many, perhaps because it has the lovely attribute of symbolizing faithfulness and enduring love : don't forget me.
It is found in cool soils, often near water. It is not always a blue colour; sometims it blooms in mauve or pink, but whatever the colour of its petals, its centrepiece is always smiling in bright yellow. The flowers unfurl, apparently, like a scorpion's tail - the sting of which this flower is said to cure.

The appeal of this small, delicate wildflower is great for me, its delicate grace a pleasure to view.
Captured in a wooded area in natural light; uncropped ; then painted digitally for a soft painterly style .... nature in all its splendour :)
