Forget Me Not Flower

Forget Me Not Flower

The Flower of Love

Once upon a time, a Knight and his bride were walking along a river. While gathering the little blue flowers for his sweetheart, the Knight fell into the deep and treacherous river. Just before his armour had pulled him beneath the water, he tossed the flowers to his lover and pleaded, "Forget Me Not!". Those were his dying words. Ever since, the little blue flower has been known as as the forget-me-not.

The Victorians gave meaning to flowers in order to express their feelings. Forget-Me-Nots represent lasting love. In Victorian England, the Forget-Me-Not flower was worn by women to ensure that their lovers would never forget them.
