Small blue flowers

Taken near the footpath at the Plitvice Lakes. Our guide said they were forget-me-nots but the leaves are different to other forget-me-nots I have seen

Obviously you guide was not a botanist, it is a different family of plants. This looks like Anemone hepatica or Hepatica nobilis, Schreber (there is some confusion with the names of these species) but from this photo it is really hard to tell for sure. Do you have any close-up of the leaves or the flowers?

Sadly no.I personally thought they were wood anemones, but in 2007 I just took a picture of pretty flowers ! ( Before I developed a real interest in botany and so on). Posted 8 years ago
