Wildflowers - Field Forget-me-not

Close-up of this tiny flower that is usually too small to see properly...

Field forget me-not flowers are only 1/8 to 3/16 inches across, water forget-me-not flowers are about 1/4 inch across

In the Western Isles the forget me-not was magically associated with gaining wealth and protection from evil influences.

This plant is sometimes known as common forget-me-not, it usually grows on arable land.

We have water forget-me-not, creeping forget-me-not, tufted forget-me-not, common forget-me-not (field), and changing forget-me-not (yellow) growing in the Western Isles.
