    Anyone have any ideas about this spring-flowering perennial? It's a forget-me-not like plant of some sort. I'm thinking Myosotis, Plagiobothrys or Cryptantha, but it could be something else. The calyces seem quite distinctive, especially the way they are held slightly off the petals. It's in cultivation, so not necessarily something native to my area.

    It's just a small plant, not more than around 15cm high in flower and spreading to form a clump up to 45cm across. Some of the foliage that can be seen belongs to the irises that it was partially covering. Any help appreciated.

    That certainly looks to have nailed it. Thanks.
