Blue Forget-me-nots

Currently a sea of blue waves in my front yard, with these delicate forget-me-nots. Leaving the wildflowers to spread, gives honeybees a place to safely gather pollen.

These were in our garden when I was growing up and so to me, and the bees, they are a precious flower. The little girl down the block loves to collect bouquets of these dainty blue blossoms. I encourage her to do so, another kind of happiness. Nothing like seeing a child's smile to brighten your day.
