Forget-me-nots are a symbol of true love.

Floriography is symbols attributed to different flowers and used to express moods and feelings.

In the Victorian era the language of flowers was used to express feelings which could not be spoken aloud. The language of flowers finds its roots in the East. Knowledge about the language of flowers was brought to Europe by two women: Aubry de la Mottraye and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.

It is the most mysterious flower. A great number of legends and myths are devoted by people to gentle forget-me-nots. 

One of them tells that giving names to different plants goddess Flora ignored a modest blue flower. Going away she heard that this flower quietly said, "Do not forget about me!" Flora made out and named forget-me-not having presented it an ability to cast memories over people.

The second but also popular legend finds its roots in Ancient Greece. It tells about a young couple - shepherd Likas and his beloved Egle. Once Likas had to say goodbye to his fiancée. Being very excited and not knowing their fate she could hold back her tears. Her tears fallen on the ground turned into small blue flowers. Likas picked and took them to hold his beloved in memories.

Besides romantic legends forget-me-nots entered traditions of many countries. For example, in Germany it was believed that forget-me-nots help to find treasures. And in England a wreath of forget-me-nots was presented to a Spring Queen who was selected from the most beautiful girls. In suburbs of Luxemburg there is a small, extremely rapid and crystal river having the poetic name Bathing of beauties. From July to August banks of this romantic river are covered with numerous lovely large forget-me-nots. In Europe this place is considered to be an embodiment of all legends about forget-me-nots.
