Did you know?
- The genus name Myosotis is Greek for mouse's ear, after the small soft leaves.
- Its buds are often pink and the opened flowers turn blue, a change linked to the acidity of the petal sap.
Could you guess it from clues?
WildGuessr picks a secret animal, plant, fungus, stone, prehistoric creature or space object and you ask yes-or-no questions about it, such as its group or where it grows. The fewer clues you need, the more points you score.
