Hi, this one has puzzled me. I've not seen it in my garden before... the flowers remind me of the Water Forget-Me-Not I popped in the pond nearby last year, but hte leaves are like a Campion.

Any ideas?

It's definitely a myosotis, but it's not hairy like the garden one. Nearer the water f-m-n as the leaves are oval. Prostrate growth makes me think Creeping.

Thanks for the reply.

I should have explained a bit more clearly in my OP. The leaves are hairy like a Campion's leaves. When it first came up, I thought it was the Red Campion I have down there self seeding. Obviously the flowers changed that thought!

If the leaves are hairy, does that make it a garden Forget-Me-Not?

Could it of hybridised from the Water Forget-Me-Not's?

Cheers.

Myosotis syvatica But there are 50 specie.

Very interesting! I am puzzled as to where it has come from as quite a bit has sprung up all over my "woodlandish" part of the garden.

I am going to have to move some of sadly as some of it has taken root right nxt to my Helebore patch

Looks like M. sylvatica to me, which is the origin of the regular garden cultivars.

Definitely Wood Forget-me-not, Myosotis sylvatica, the common garden plant
