A friend of mine collected this plant 8-10 years ago " WA state. East of the Cascades" and I was wondering if you guys could peg it
Let me know if this pic doesn't show, it was not uploaded by me but I have permission to share with you guys since he had good luck with this plant and would love to try it again if he knew what it was!

Cavan said it could be Myosotis:

Have you gotten a flower?

Nope, no flower. He lost it a couple of years after he collected it so he's only got photos. Hasn't found it since, but doesn't sound like he's really looked for it that much either until recently. He kept it trimmed in the tank so it never got emersed enough for the flowers.
If he can find it again I'll ask for some and have one of you gurus grow it out and ID it better

Re: Ukn Native Plant from WA
Looks like it's probably Myosotis scorpioides, aka forget-me-not, which is widely naturalized. Could be M. laxa, a native plant, but it's impossible to say at this point (but I'd bet on the former). A few people in the Pittsburgh club have grown it and it does well.
