Folklore and Legend (x)

in a German legend, God named all the plants when a tiny un
named one cried out, "Forget-me-not, O Lord!" God replied, "T
hat shall be your name." Another legend tells when the Creato
r thought he had finished giving the flowers their colours, he h
eard one whisper "Forget me not!" There was nothing left but
a very small amount of blue, but the Forget-me-not was delig
hted to wear such a light blue shade.

In 15th-century Germany, it was supposed that the wearers of 
the flower would not be forgotten by their lovers. Legend has it
 that in medieval times, a knight and his lady were walking alo
ng the side of a river. He picked a posy of flowers, but becaus
e of the weight of his armour he fell into the river. As he was d
rowning he threw the posy to his loved one and shouted "Forg
et-me-not." It was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulnes
s and enduring love.
