The forget-me-not (Myosotis sylvatica) is a perennial flower that, once resident in your garden, is likely never to depart, hence, I imagine, its name. It is a plant with which I have a love-hate relationship. I like its flowers, a welcome splash of light blue in spring and early summer, and I like the fact that birds benefit from its plentiful seeds. However, those seeds also ensure that the plant spreads itself around your garden and requires too much (albeit not difficult) attention to keep it where you want it. The example in the photograph is from my current garden.
