soil type would change all of them not just some of them, isn't it?

As far as I know Daniel yes, I dont think they are like Hydrangeas that change colour with the soil.There seem to be many different species as with speedwell.

What an amazing array of colours - so this is purely to do with subspecies, rather than soil type?

well obviously not the same but similar ;) in croatia is listed as protected species but the funny thing is that the entire meadows are growing exactly by some parking places ;) stubborn plant!

Thanks Injica, I think you probably get a different subspecies of myosotis as there are several and I think myosotis scorpioides is the only true blue one.
