Forget-me-not

Myosotis (, MY-ə-SOH-tiss) is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family Boraginaceae. In the Northern Hemisphere, they are colloquially known as forget-me-nots or scorpion grasses. The forget-me-not is the official flower of Alaska. The name comes from the Ancient Greek μυοσωτίς (myosōtis) "mouse's ear", which the foliage is thought to resemble. The genus is not to be confused with the related Chatham Islands species Myosotidium hortensia.
