Forgetmenots pink, yellow and blue

Changing Forgetmenot (Myosotis discolor)
I noticed the first forgetmenots this morning on my way up to the shed so I was distracted from my bracken pulling for a while. Officially, Changing Forgetmenots start out yellow and then change to blue. I'm counting that one in the photo as yellow after much checking of its other properties, such as having a corolla tube shorter than the calyx. See below.


Forgetmenots seem to be popular with aphids, winged and unwinged.



The following photo was taken in June last year and shows the Boggy Brae
pink form of Yellow or Changing Forgetmenot.
