A small cluster of springtime Forget-Me-Not Flowers peaking over a large Tulip leaf.
I liked the way this small cluster of Forget Me Not flowers appeared to be floating by themselves among the greenery in my garden.

The species of wild Roses shown are called Rosa nutkana ( Nootka Rose, Bristly rose, wild rose) is a perennial shrub that grows from 60 cm-3m (2ft-10ft) tall.This species name “nootka” comes from the Nootka Sound of Vancouver Island ( photo taken), where it was first described. This plant is native to western North America. There are two varieties; hispida grows in the intermountain West, from east of the Cascades to the Rocky Mountains, and the nutkana grows in the coastal areas from Alaska to California, east to the Cascades.The 5-8 cm (2-3in) flowers occur singly or may appear in groups of two or three. The flowers appear in early summer and can have a pleasantly strong fragrance. The Nootka rose grows in a wide variety of habitats, from sea level to mid elevations. It needs sun but will tolerate some shade, often growing along forest edges. Nootka Rose thickets provide habitat and food for birds and small wildlife. Deer browse the flowers, young stems and hips.
