Amateur pics of weird tiny flowers.

I started taking pictures of atypical forget-me-not flowers that I saw at work and in my garden. Feel free to submit an anomalous flower image of your own if you have one!

Greatest Hits: Spring '26

Finally got around to doing this, and decided to format it as a one-page fold-able zine, because why not?

Enjoy:

I'll probably still reblog the occasional forget-me-not artworks in the interim, but for obvious reasons I will probably not have any more original photos until next year's forget-me-not season.

Probably the last of the blooms. Spotted at work, on like the only small cluster of forget-me-not plants that are not yet completely dead (they're in a shady spot and thus are probably staying cooler on average than all the other ones were, I'm betting that's why they're still flowering).

In the language of flowers, the forget-me-not symbolizes true and eternal love.According to a medieval legend, a French knight walked along a river with his lady. He bent down to fetch her a pretty little blue flower, but his heavy armor made him lose his balance and he fell into the current. Before sinking forever, he threw the flower to his lady, shouting ""don't forget me""! And that's how the forget-me-not flower got its name.

Lone four-petal on the plant in my garden. Looks like it got munched on by something, but based on the middle I think it did in fact start out as just being four petals. The forget-me-nots in all the places I usually visit are dwindling a considerable amount--I don't know how much longer the season will last, but I will of course keep posting when I find more strange blooms. They'll likely just be fewer and farther between now.

Logo makes me very happy. I love how it turned out. One of my favorite flowers, the forget me not.

More from my neighbor's garden. The center on the first one (nine petals) is such an interesting shape, it almost looks sort of rectangular.

Little flowers from work, with varying degrees of too-many-petaled-ness. Also with varying degrees of oblong centers, which is neat.

A six-petal from work and a six-petal from my neighbor's garden, the latter featuring an insect which messed up my phone camera's focus a little, lol. Always good to see pollinators in action though!

Various anomalous flowers from my neighbor's garden in the first four photos, and--surprisingly--another fleeting flower from my own plant in the final one! and a fused petal specimen at that. My plant is definitely past its prime (the flowering stalk-bits are very dead looking, the lone couple of flowers I have seen from it recently were near the bottom of the plant) but it's always fun to see an unexpected bloom, especially when it's anomalous.

First, sixth, and seventh photos are from my neighbor's garden--I was very surprised to see a nine-petaled flower! 2, 3, 4, and 5 are from work; the third photo where that one flower has a weirdly tiny/underdeveloped petal is probably my favorite of those finds, if only because it's a little silly-looking. The last one was a flower that I found on the forget-me-not plant in my own garden, which was a surprise! My plants had not flowered in quite a while so I really didn't expect to see anything. By the next day when I had checked, it had already disappeared.

From my neighbor’s garden again—some with too many petals, one purpley one with fused petals, and a few unexpectedly purple-pink ones. The amount of flowers is certainly dwindling but they seem to love mutating as much as ever :).
