Mystery of Forget-Me-Not

    Herbaceous plant with small blue flower that grows in damp, shady places, myosotis (Myosotis palustris) is known by everyone as “forget-me-not”. 

   This delicate flower, symbol of love and fidelity, is full of charm and elegance. Its name, forget-me-not,
comes from an old medieval legend. It is said that a brave knight wanted one day to pick a flower for his girlfriend dressed in armor. He fell from his horse in a torrent that  "swallowed" him in its waves. While drowning, he threw a blue flower to the woman he was in love with calling her: “Forget-me-not”! In 1948, mioyotis was adopted as Masonic emblem  at the first annual conference of the United Grand Lodge of Germany. The flower reminds those who have suffered in the name of Freemasonry.
