I love simple flowers like poppies and daisies. I also have a soft spot for Forget-me-nots and allow them to self-seed in my garden along with Love-in-a-mist. Somehow nature always manages a far better floral display than anything I've achieved with planting plans. I wonder who first gave those flowers their common names - so much nicer than Myosotis or Nigella.Each tiny flower is so perfect in close-up and the recent warm weather has faded them quickly into soft shades of lilac and pink. True shabby chic!

The forget-me-nots are beautiful, they remind me of my Grandma's garden, she loved them.
Whilst I wouldnt want you to take this as gospel.. I believe the Victorian women gave flowers their common names so they could pass messages on to their beaus :).
I do hope that's true Tessa its a lovely thought!
