    While the vast majority of Forget Me Not (Myosotis scorpioides subsp. scorpioides) will be a lovely sky blue, occasionally in a patch of blue flowers you will see one with pink flowers, or with white. I've successfully taken a white one that's gone to seed, sprinkled the seeds in a separate area, and gotten a small patch of white-flowered Forget-Me-Nots, so these rare colours will produce more of the same.
