Thanx

I got my info from Wikipedia, here is what they say

"Myosotis (from the Greek: "mouse's ear", after the leaf) is a genus of flowering plants ... that are commonly called Forget-me-nots." [link]

"Omphalodes verna (common names Creeping Navelwort or Blue-eyed Mary) The genus name Omphalodes derives from the Greek word omphalòs, meaning navel, referred to the shape of the small fruits, while the name verna of the species, deriving from the Latin vernus, refers to the early blooming flowers." [link]
(it says nothing about mouse's ear and it's leaves are really big and don't resemble a mouse's ear either)

So either Wikipedia or you are wrong

maybe it's a differen't translation. i'm a botanist so i do know a bit about plants, but english is not my first language plus common names are often misleadin, people use several names for one plant or one name for several plants etc in my languade, Omphalodes is called mišje uho which means mouse's ear while Myosotis (yep, true, greek translation is mouse's ear) is called potočnica which means flower that grows by the creek.

Well local information is different from place to place, so that's why i went with the international version

thanks, but my standards have risen since then, i would change a few things on it, like white balance and maybe crop it differently, i still might
