Question
Hello again, ace botanists. Found these Myosotis plants poking up in some short grass (location: Barrington, RI). They have small flowers and are mostly gray except for the greenish leaves. I believe they could be blue scorpion-grass (M. stricta). Thanks!
Answer
Dear chickenparmesan24, good afternoon. Your plants in the photos do appear consistent with Myosotis stricta. The small flowers and very short pedicels (i.e., flower stalks) are typical of this species. It would be hard for me to be confident without measurements of the flower width (which is typically only 1-2 mm in Myosotis stricta). Perhaps you can measure and confirm.
