Background story:

According to legend, in ancient Germany, a knight and his beloved were walking along the banks of the Danube. By the water, his beloved found a delicate and beautiful blue flower and adored it greatly, so she asked the handsome knight to pick a small bunch for her. While picking the flower, the brave knight accidentally slipped and fell into the water. The heavy armor made it impossible for him to swim, and he even lacked the strength to breathe. As he drifted toward death, the knight, disregarding his own safety, threw the flower to his beloved and shouted: "Forget me not!" The flower got its name from this.

Afterward, the knight's beloved wore the small blue flower in her hair day and night, to show her love for her beloved, faithful unto death and unwavering. And that blue flower was therefore called "forget-me-not," and its flower meaning is "do not forget me," "true love," and "true love."
