forget-me-nots
Small blue blossoms
Forget-me-nots are small flowering plants with clusters of tiny blue flowers, though pink and white varieties exist.
The name comes from a romantic tradition that the flowers symbolize faithful love and remembrance.
They grow wild in moist areas and are popular in gardens for their delicate appearance and ground-covering habit.
The name is sometimes used figuratively for anything meant as a reminder or keepsake.
