Myosotis dissitiflora is a species of forget-me-not native to the Caucasus.[1] It is one of the largest-flowered species in Myosotis. There used to be a dozen of ornamental cultivars during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but they are all lost now. Currently there exist two known cultivars, namely 'Baby Blue' and 'Myomark'.[2]
