In a German legend, God named all the plants when a tiny unnamed one cried out, "Forget-me-not, O Lord!" God replied, "That shall be your name."
In another Greek legend, when the Creator thought he had finished giving the flowers their colours, he heard one whisper "Forget me not!" There was nothing left but a very small amount of blue, but the forget-me-not was delighted to wear such a light blue shade.
In medieval times, it was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love.
In 15th-century Germany, it was supposed that the wearers of the flower would not be forgotten by their lovers.
