grandma's garden

everyone has a favorite flower or one that reminds them of days gone by.  for me, the old fashioned forget me nots are one of my classic favorite flowers.  forget me nots are an earlier spring bloomer that seem to cover the ground and multiply easily every year.  the small blue flowers grow low to the ground and almost form a carpet of blue as they spread between other perennials. the flowers complement my grape hyacinths, yellow daffodils and blue flowering myrtle.

these plants were a gift from a gardening friend and will continue to remind me of her lovely garden for years to come.
