Myosotis scorpioides, the true forget-me-not or water forget-me-not, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the borage family, Boraginaceae. Myosotis scorpioides is also known as scorpion grass due to the spiraling curve of its inflorescence on scorpioid cymes.
That first one is precious! If you didn’t identify it, and the stamp of course, I’d have guessed it was German. I grow the annual Chinese forget-me-nots. They look the same, but easier for me to grow. Lovely color.
It also reminds me of The Sound of Music, with Maria running through the grass and flowers in the mountains! I just looked it up, it’s the video/dvd covers!
The first one is a joy, full of the excitement of spring and encouraging us all to go to Western Australia to see their wild flowers. Its ‘The Golden Age of Travel Posters’ which has become a popular theme for Australia Post over the years. The artist, Percy Trompf, German name, but an Aussie by birth. I love old travel posters.
I love these colours! And the first postcard is really cheerful!

With the first one, my first thought was ‘HEIDI’
There is more to the forget-me-not than one might at first think.
