The small wild flowers of the forget-me-not are a symbol of true love and to remember those who are gone, but are not forgotten.

They flower in ancient woodland, along hedgerows and grass verges from April until June.

They provide an excellent source of nectar and pollen for the bees 🐝 and butterflies 🦋.

The plant has been made into tea or as a capsule for lung problems but is poisonous and can cause liver damage.

🍒 Hello! The pics are beautiful and I would like to know, what is the code to do the little butterfly that is in your post? Thanks in advance 😊

Hi @mariacherries, I use an iPad which has all of these emoticons. My iPhone has them too. Thanks for stopping by 🦋

Awww too bad, I don't have iPad or iPhone, but still thanks :D

Wow, that ladybug on the flower is one of the most pleasant shots I have seen in a long time.

So beautiful flowers, and good quality photos.

Posted some flower photos earlier too:
