shrubbery. The creeping Forget-me-not (Ompalodes verna) 
is a little plant that creeps about in grass or among vegetation, 
not over a span high, or forms a carpet of its own—these 
points must be considered, and then the rest is gardening of 
the happiest kind only. These Borageworts, richer in blue 
flowers than even the gentians, are usually poor rusty things 
in exposed sunny borders, and also much in the way when 
out of flower, whereas in shady lanes, copses, open parts of 
not too dry or impoverished shrubberies, in hedgerow-banks, — 
or ditches, we only notice them in their beautiful bloom.
