The Legend of
the Forget-Me-Not Flower
There are many myths and legends attached to the naming of the
Forget-Me-Not flower; a German legend refers to the small, yet
unnamed plant who cried out to God, “Forget me not, Lord!”
However, the most romantic legend as to how the Forget-Me-Not
gained its name is a medieval legend.
A knight was said to be choosing some flowers for his
sweetheart, who was walking with him, when he fell into the
river, due to the weight of his armor; the knight is said to
have thrown the blue flowers to his sweetheart on the river bank
crying, "Forget-Me-Not".
