Dear Mohina Ji,

A description of *Myosotis sylvatica* is available at -
http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=242423375. What
attracts me -

   - "Basal leaves elliptic-oblong to oblanceolate.... Cauline leaves
   oblanceolate..... apiculate, uppermost ones similar but smaller and *
   sessile** ....." *= it may explain variation in leaves in your 1st pic
   with those of the rest two
   - "Inflorescence in flower short and crowded, in fruit loose and
   elongated....." = as can be seen in 1st & 2nd images
   - "Corolla limb 5-7 mm broad; blue or bluish-purple...." = may support
   you description in the post " The flowers were about 8mm across"

Here are some links of images -

Now, it's up to you, if you buy this theory or not :)
