This time of year my garden is full of these forget-me-nots. I got the seeds from my late mother five years ago and now for about six weeks every Spring my garden is a sea of blue. The background is a hosta leaf.

Lovely shot. The hosta leaf background is great, and the DOF is perfect. Nice group, too.

Beautiful. I too love the background and your rendering of it; Just enough texture to make it interestin but not at all distracting. I really like the way the blossoms are centered over the hosta leaf, providing lines that seem to "fall away" from the blossoms.
