  • Question

    Glenn here again. Here is a closer photo of the forget-me-not flower. Further info, I am in Easthampton, MA and this is a fairly moist area of my yard near a wetland. Thanks again!

    Answer

    Glenn, yes, Myosotis sylvatica. The hooked hairs on the calyx (sepals) separate this from specie slike Mysotis scorpioides, which have straight hairs lacking a hooked tip. Best wishes.
