Absolutely phenomenal flower called forget-me-not with 10 petals. Really and truly this is 5 petalled flower.
From Wikipedia:
Myosotis is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae that are commonly called Forget-me-nots. Flowering in spring,colour variation is somewhat frequent within species, and white or pink forms are common. They are popular in gardens, and cultivated forms often show a mixture of colours. Forget-me-nots prefer shade.
Forget-me-nots can be annual or perennial plants. Their root systems are generally diffuse. Their seeds are found in small, tulip shaped pods along the stem to the flower. The pods attach to clothing when brushed against and eventually fall off, leaving the small seed within to germinate elsewhere. Seeds can be collected by putting a piece of paper under the stems and shaking them. The seed pods and some seeds will fall out. |
