I found these beautiful flowers yesterday along one of the Hidden Valley trails. They are in the borage family and are Myosoto arvensis.

I have never seen them before. The blue color is quite intense as is other borage.

There are 5 species of Forget-Me-Nots in MN. Only 2 are native, Myosotis laxa and Myosotis verna. I recently found M. laxa close to where the Big Fork runs into the Rainy River. They have been reported in our area, but I have never found them here. They are much smaller than M. Arvensis.
