The origin of the name forget-me-not
——————————————————————————————————————————————
This name comes from the German Vergissmeinnicht, which means "forget-me-not". In German legend, when God finished naming all the flowers, a small unnamed flower cried out: "Oh, my God, please do not forget me (Forget-me-not)!" So God gladly answered: "This is your name." After forget-me-not is made into dried flowers, the color does not fade for a long time, making it very suitable for pressing in books or as a token of love, hence the name.

The beautiful story of forget-me-not
——————————————————————————————————————————————
Behind this small blue flower, forget-me-not, there is also a romantic love story circulated among the people of Europe and America. It is said that a German knight and his lover were strolling along the Danube River. By chance he glimpsed a small flower blooming with blue blossoms by the riverbank. Regardless of the danger to his life, the knight leaned out to pick the flower, but unexpectedly lost his footing and fell into the rushing current. Knowing he could not be saved, the knight said, "Don't forget me!" and threw the blue flower toward his lover, then disappeared into the water. Afterward, the knight's lover wore the small blue flower in her hair day and night, to show her love for her lover that would not change until death and remained steadfast. And that blue flower was therefore called "forget-me-not".
About forget-me-not, there is also a beautiful story passed down for a thousand years. On a desolate wilderness, the wind was blowing, and a man and a woman walked in the wind in each other's arms. Their hands held love, and their fluttering garments carried affection. The sky was so blue, and the clouds drifted gently. Suddenly, a flower the same color as the sky swayed gently in the distance. The woman stopped walking; she saw that flower whose name she did not know. The man walked toward the blue, knowing this flower should be pinned in her hair bun. But when the man picked the flower, his feet could not move; he had sunk into the swamp. The woman rushed over desperately, and the man shook his head to signal her not to come. The woman stood still, but tears ran across her face. The man raised the flower and said to her with a smile: Forget me not. The woman covered her face with both hands, and the tears dripping through her fingers soaked the wilderness. The wind still blew, blowing the woman's tears, blowing the man's last words left in the wilderness. And so, this flower melted into love, and this flower had a deep blue name: forget-me-not.
