Forget-Me-Nots in a South Somerset garden, and a poetic tribute to them.

Lots of wood forget-me-nots have sprung up beneath a holly hedge in my garden.  Below are a couple of photos of them and a very appropriate poem in tribute to them. 

And closer in!

The Forget-Me-Not Fairy

By Cicely Mary Barker

So small, so blue, in grassy places

My flowers raise

Their tiny faces.

 

By streams my bigger sisters grow

And smile in gardens

In a row.

 

I’ve never seen a garden plot;

But though I’m small

Forget me not.
