I thought you might enjoy the little story I came across recently.<br />
In Medieval Germany, a knight was strolling along the bank of<br />
the River Danube with his beloved. Suddenly the maiden<br />
noticed dainty blue flowers growing downstream. Enchanted<br />
by them, she begged him to pick a bunch. Leaning over to reach<br />
them, he was overcome by the weight of his armour and fell<br />
into the river. Flinging the posy of flowers to the bank, he sank<br />
from sight. His last words were: “Vegisz mein nicht” – “forgetme-not”.<br />
From that moment, the plant was so-named, and<br />
associated with true love.<br />
