In the Middle Ages, a knight and his beloved were walking along the bank of a river when they noticed a small blue flower drifting upon the water. Enchanted by its beauty, the beloved expressed her admiration for the flower. Wanting to please her, the knight stepped into the river to retrieve it, but he was swept away by the strong current.

In that moment, the knight turned to his beloved, threw the flower toward her, and cried out, “Forget me not.” From that day on, the blue flower came to be known as forget-me-not, symbolizing that lovers remain forever in each other’s hearts and minds.
