Description

We had one small clump of these turn up in our garden a few years ago. Just before winter, I dug them up and gave them a new home in better soil. Now they're spreading like crazy. I held the dime the same distance from the camera to show their tiny scale. (If anyone knows the name of these, I'll amend the title to include it.)

I have no idea what they are, but they are pretty. We have some wild flowers here, and they spread like crazy - not like these, but a pretty lavendar color, and a coral color. I'll have to try to capture their blooms some day. They are tiny, too.

I've seen these here in PA., but have no idea what they are called. They are some type of late in the season wildflower. You've captured their beauty wonderfully.

Yes, they look like forget-me-nots; we have a lot of these around here right now! Great capture, it's hard for me to catch their color -- I keep trying but it gets washed out. Well done!

Beautiful forget-me-nots! They spread by seed, and you'll have them every year now! I love mine - they really make the garden at this time of year! :)

We call them forget me nots here in the UK, and I have many of them in my borders, they are delightful small flowers and can spread like wildfire!!! Fabulous shot, and like the way you hold the coin to show the size. hugs Jane xx
