Are True Forget-me-not Flowers or Chcory flowers non-vascular or vascular? And is it an angiosperm?

1 ) The Forget-me-nots are the genus Myosotis of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae.





It is flowering and therefore vascular plant as all flowering plants are vascular . Besides , All flowering plants are angiosperms !!





There are about 50 species in the genus, and among them there is considerable variation.





Nevertheless a considerable number of the species fit the same description, of a small (1 cm diameter or less) rather flat 5-petalled blue flower growing profusely on straggly stems, flowering in spring.





Colour variation is somewhat frequent within species, and white or pink forms are quite likely to be seen. They are popular in gardens, and cultivated forms often show a mixture of colours.





The forget-me-nots need shade, not sun.
