1-10 Project: 5 Blue Petals in a Sea of Green

Last June, Steve and I got the opportunity to take pictures of a friend's garden, and I spent a couple of hours immersed in an immaculately landscaped slice of heaven. This tiny beauty is called a Forget-Me-Not, a popular garden flower which is also used as a symbol for Remembrance Day by some Newfoundlanders, and as a symbol by Freemasons to not forget those who have died.

There are five others doing this project with me, and if you'd like to jump in, we'd love to have you! You can catch up when you can! :)

Just love this picture Janet. I have so many groups of forget-me-nots in my garden - they grow wild here. They are indeed a lovely little flower.

Love all blue flowers - especially the Forget-me-not, because it is so tiny and beautiful. It is a very special and wonderful choice for five, Janet!

Love it. Especially the way you have isolated the flower to emphasise it's small size.
