Baby blue eyes (Scientific name: Nemophila menziesii subsp. Insignis) is a cold-weed crawling annual grass of the genus Nemophila of the Boraginaceae family in the western part of North America such as California. In the spring, light blue flower bells with a bell-shaped tip and 5 tears at the tip are blooming in inflorescences stretched from low plant height. The flower is a blue ground and the center is white. The tip of the petal is rounded. If it is a crowd, it looks like a blue carpet on one side.
