    Possibly forget me not, but I'm more used to the 'wild' variety that I remember as a bit more straggly.

      I've got a few of these in the garden. Are they to get a bit taller yet to match the pictures in my wildflower books?

      I think they are forget me nots. They will start sending up airy flower stems soon about a foot high, which create a lovely misty blue look. If you don't want triple the number next year, just pull off the flower stalk or uproot the whole think when it starts to get in the way of everything else and look 'gone over'.
