Myosotis Idaea Var. Cadmea

Myosotis idaea var. cadmea, commonly known as the mountain forget-me-not, is a delicate flowering plant native to the alpine regions of Europe and Asia. It thrives in rocky and sandy soils at high altitudes, where it withstands cold temperatures and strong winds. The plant produces small, sky-blue flowers that bloom in early summer, adding a touch of color to the rugged mountain landscape. Its scientific name reflects its historical association with the myth of Cadmus, linking it to ancient legends and poetic imagery. Despite its fragile appearance, this resilient species plays an important role in alpine ecosystems and is a popular subject among botanists and nature enthusiasts.
