Plants of the Forest
Common Name:	Forget-Me-Not	Scientific Name:	Myosotis latifolia
Blooms:	(February -September)	Native:	No. Introduced plant from Africa, but considered "naturalized" in California
Special Comments:	Although these Forget-me-nots are not native to the area, they are "naturalized" plants and not considered harmful to native vegetation. The intricate detail in these tiny flowers is hard to see without a magnifying glass or a close-up lens. The second photo is of a patch of forget-me-nots growing in the Pourroy Garden in June.
