This work is a third in a series depicting plants in the C-S National Monument of SW Oregon.

​

A single Myosotis sylvatica (forget-me-not) plant growing along the Pacific Crest Trail provided the inspiration. Only one inflorescence (a single stem with multiple flowers) is represented here; it is magnified 15 times and viewed downward from a moderate angle.

This unassuming plant offers (us) no fragrance, flavor, drug, nutrient, or fiber. Its simple, minute flowers offer only pinwheels of pale blue.

​

It was adhered with silicone to Hardiboard cut with a ring saw to the shape of the lime substrate.
