    One of the first flower to bloom after the long winter. These flowers are so little, it was a challenge to take the picture on a windy overcast day. Please give me your thoughts.

    Rene, do you have any idea what these are? I don't believe I've ever seen them before!

    I like the image as presented; I also think you could whiten the whites just a bit, too. Either way, I think it works. Nice comp and really interesting subject.

    Hi Rene!
    Here in Sweden we call them Forget-me-not and they belong to the Myosotis-family.
    You can see the Swedish colors too!
    Very nice pic with a superb BG.

    Do they have big, heart shaped leaves (2 inches or greater), or small, oblong leaves?

    If the former, they are Brunnera Macrophylla a perennial, also known as "Siberian Bugloss"; if the latter, they are Myosotis, the true "Forget-Me-Not', which I believe is biennial or possibly annual.

    Lovely photo by the way. Beautiful background.
