A Year in the Valley

I didn’t realise that there were so many types of Forget-Me-Nots.  The best fit was the Water Forget-Me-Not, which obviously likes damp places, water margins.  It has purple-tinted sheathed buds and long stems with branched buds and long oval leaves.  It can grow up to 30cm, though I think it grows more mat-like in the water.  This one is in a low-lying reliably damp part of the watermeadow.
