Question
Hello! This plant appeared in my parent's yard in Sherborn, MA a few years ago. It is in their backyard in a part-shade area; it popped up in the crack between the walkway and a flowerbed. It was pretty so they let it stay and after it got large they were able to divide it and give one to me. I'd like to know what it is before I plant it. The picture is of a division in a 4" pot; each flower is less than 1/2" diameter. Thank you!
Answer
Dear kblossfeld, it looks like a species of pink-flowered forget-me-not (e.g., Myosotis alpestris, Myosotis sylvatica). It would be very difficult for me to identify the species here without plants (both flowering and fruiting) in hand. I hope knowing the genus is useful to you. Best wishes.
