Artist's Comments

:aww: False or not, those Forget-Me_Nots are as beautiful as true ones. :aww:


:D Do you know how the Forget-Me-Not got its name? :laughing: If not, I will tell you.

:aww: "This European perennial is one of the world’s most-loved wildflowers, and though the little clusters of sky blue flowers are wonderful, the romantic legend of how it got its name is ever better. The plant is a stream side species, so the setting makes sense. A medieval German knight is said to have been picnicking on the bank of the Danube with his lady love. He descended the bank to the water’s edge to gather some of the lovely blue flowers he saw there, but while he was near the water, tragedy struck. A “freshet” (flash flood) suddenly appeared and pulled the young man into the churning river. As he was literally swept away, he tossed the bouquet to his lady on the bank with the three now-famous words: 'Forget me not!'" :D
