Forget Me Not

According to the Wildflowers of Alberta book, the name forget me not came from a couple strolling along the Danube. The lady noticed a clump of blue flowers on the steep banks of the Danube. The Gentleman tried to picked some for her, but slipped and fell into the blue Danube (which is by the way green). He did manage to toss the flowers to her and call with his dying breath: "Forget me not!"

I had no idea that there was such a dramatic story around forget-me-nots!
