Forget-me-not
My garden is full of these tiny blue forget-me-not flowers at the moment, any spare patch of soil has been filled with this wave of blue. You may also know forget-me-nots as being called myosotis, taken from the Latin myosōtis meaning mouse’s ear.
Floriography, the language of flowers, was used during the Victorian era to convey messages. In this form of floral coded communication the forget-me-not represented true love.
