There's a large patch of swamp greenery just behind our cabin that's a riot of these tiny (1/4 inch) but vivid blue flowers, growing in a large mat along an extensive fibrous root system. The Forget-me-not, or Scorpion Weed, is a cultivated import from Eurasia that has escaped gardens everywhere and is now common in the wild.
