Myosotis scorpioides aka Water Forget Me Not

Myosotis scorpioides, also known as the true forget-me-not or water forget-me-not, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the borage family, Boraginaceae. It is native to Europe and Asia, but has been introduced as an invasive species and noxious weed in other parts of the world. The plant typically grows 6-10 inches tall, with angular stems and bright green, oblong to lance-shaped leaves up to 4 inches long. Its light sky blue flowers with yellow centers, which are 1/4 inch in diameter, bloom in branched scorpioid cymes that resemble a coiled scorpion's tail, hence the specific epithet. The long spring through summer bloom period makes it a popular choice for gardens. However, it is important to note that the common forget-me-not of borders and woodland gardens is Myosotis sylvatica, not Myosotis scorpioides. Additionally, True Forget-Me-Not is a rare houseplant that requires regular watering and direct light to thrive.
