My garden variety - Kaukasian Forget-me-not - if I remember correctly. :-) It has quite dark blue flowers and later in the summer its leaves grow to be enourmous. The leaves are very dark green, slightly hairy and the size of my hands
...I've been to Laoag!
The "Laoag sign" greets visitors to the capital city of the Philippine province of Ilocos Norte.
Actually I wanted to continue with local water birds. But then I decided to take another macro/close-up shot, as I'm now pretty unsatisfied with yesterday's shot. Hope you enjoy this one more! It's been lying in my picture folder for a while now, back from early spring when the forget-me-not was blooming all around! Have a nice evening and see you tomorrow!

Note: 'Cathedral Grove is a rare and endangered remnant of an ancient Douglas fir ecosystem on Vancouver Island in British Columbia (BC), Canada. The biggest trees in the Grove are about 800 years old and measure 75 m (250 ft) in height and 9 m (29 ft) in circumference. They are the survivors of a forest fire that ravaged the area some 350 years ago and the even more devastating invasion by Europeans who colonized Vancouver Island from 1849 [...] Groves of ancient trees are today rare everywhere in the world. Visiting one is an inspiring experience. Cathedral Grove is a treasure of wild forest biodiversity that compares in value to European cathedrals.'

I spotted this very tiny flower in the wetlands at Meadowbrook. I'll have to check my books but it looks like a Forget-me-not to me.
Garden shot from this morning. Very few flowers are out at the moment, so feeling a little restricted to what I can actually photograph.
It was so quite there.
I watched an elderly man kneel to pray and as he stood up, wiping the tears from his eyes, he took the hat from his head and placed it on the wall as if it was the only thing that he could leave for the fallen men and women to let them know that he would never forget.
This bright little blue flower could be the emblem of the NHS. As they all care and think of their patients - we all will never forget them.
