Hello. Yesterday I visited Guildwood Park in Toronto, ON. They had used a plant as companions to Tulips and ground cover in pretty much all their flower beds. They even had this plant in mass plantings around the bases of some trees. The plant itself was about 12-18 inches high and has small pale blue flowers blooming in profusion. Anyone have any idea what this plant might be?

My guess would be forget me nots. They're often used in underplanting trees. Any chance of posting a picture? Marg
