Which garden flower is also known as 'forget-me-not'? Myosotis. Myosotis is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family, Boraginaceae. Its small, usually blue flowers often have five petals and a contrasting yellow center, making the plant a familiar sight in cottage gardens and moist woodland settings.

The name Myosotis comes from Ancient Greek and means “mouse’s ear,” a reference to the shape of the plant’s foliage. Carl Linnaeus originally described the genus. More than 60 confirmed species are recognized, although “forget-me-not” can refer to several different Myosotis species rather than one single plant.

Myosotis sylvatica, the woodland forget-me-not, is one of the familiar garden forms. The flower’s common name is linked to a medieval European legend about a knight who picked blue flowers beside the Danube, fell into the river, and threw the flowers to his beloved while calling, “Forget-me-not.” The plant has since become a symbol of remembrance in several countries.
