Filoli Trail - Myosotis


Myosotis is a small blue flower that is more commonly known as Forget-Me-Nots. There are approximately 50 different species of myosotis but most have flat, 5 lobed blue, pink, or white flowers with yellow centers. These plants bloom in spring and prefer moist habitats and habitats where they are not native (such as Filoli) and can tolerate partial sun and shade. Most species are native to New Zealand or Europe, but because they are commonly used in gardens they are now found in Europe, Asia, and America.
