[b]Myosotis[/b], commonly called forget-me-not or scorpion grass, is a genus of Flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae. The type species is Myosotis scorpioides.
Forget-me-nots grow in clusters (cymes). Their five-petaled flowers have a bright, ring-like center that is yellow or white. They are most often blue, but also come in shades of pink, purple, and white.
Not to be confused with Tweedia. Tweedia flowers have a similar ring-like center, but it is blue. Also, tweedia flowers grow individually rather than in clusters, and their petals are usually longer.
