They are perennials - I do not know their name. They are very tiny flowers about 1/2" in diameter and they have happily occupied a corner of my garden for about 15 years. Sometimes blue and pink flowers appear at the same time.
Taken with the Canon 450D and 60mm macro lens

I can smell the sunlight on your skin. Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make!
Not sure they are forget-me-nots Richie - the leaves are different.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Curiosity got the better of me so I googled - I think they may be called Pulmonaria officinalis (or Lungwort, which does not sound very nice )

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Well, if lungwort, they have medicinal properties probably associated with the lungs. Pretty little things. I like the depth of the photo.

LYTRO. The new light field photography. Refocus your shots AFTER you have taken them. Just click on the word LYTRO. See a VIDEO HERE.
Further investigation revealed
"it was used as part of a formula to help reveal if someone was a witch or not, and also conversely it was worn as a protection against the evil eye."
Well!! Could be just what I need lol

Your shot has turned it a fact finding mission and very amusing LE.
The post is well done and the blurring is perfect.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.
A witch detector! They look cute even if they have sent innocent women to their deaths in the past.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Lyn - There are a number of flowers in the lungwort family; this appears to be one of them. As I find them hard to focus, your capture is well done! Thad

Lyn, the above comments are that interesting that they have made me even more curious. Therefore I've visited Wikipedia to know more about the lungwort plant.
The Dutch name is 'longkruid', because the plant was, when mixed with other herbs, regarded as a medicine for certain lung diseases. That healing power however is unproven. In Holland it was not used as a witch detector (like Raj says) because we have no witches here, lol!
Good and interesting F² image.
Regards, Cornelius.

Kia Ora, LE...
I had Lungwort back in my college days. Luckily penicillin had been invented, and that took care of it.
It's a beautiful bloom, but those are some nasty looking leaves. I am always amazed at the weird combinations that Mother Nature throws at us. When I hike in the hills, there are beautiful flowers attached to some of the meanest looking plants I've ever seen.

An elegant photo, Lyn, with those fine, white, pointed hairs growing out from the edges of the leaves, I see one on the left has started to collect fine spider webbing, making it look like a miniature cattle fence. If you can expand on the depth of field on your camera (this looks pretty short, around 2.8 or something like it) you'll get more of these beautiful macros you take in sharp focus.
