Forget-me-not
The meaning of the forget-me-not
I miss you, and I will not forget you.
No flower says it as clearly as the forget-me-not: I won't forget you. An old story tells of a knight who picked flowers for his love, fell into the river and, just in time, threw her the posy with the words “forget me not”.
