Chatham Island Forget-me-not (Myosotidium Hortensia). Endemic to the Chatham Islands where it grows naturally. A large plant - 30 to 60 cm in height with leaves the size of dinner plates :) The CHATHAM ISLANDS are a group of 10 in the Pacific, east of NZ, with a population of <700, with no public transport . The first place in the world to see the light of each new day, and it has 18 species of birds unique to the islands. But you don't want a geography lesson lol - enjoy the flower. This plant grows in the garden of my work, and I took this picture last spring.Even after flowering the leaves remain spectacular. . .Panasonic DMC-FZ7.. Thank you for taking a look.Any comments are most welcome and always appreciated.
