A great many of beautiful legends are connected with this flower.

One of the poetic Greek tales tells about too lovers, Likas and Egle, whose love and mutual devotion were known all over the neighborhood. But one day Likas had to go home to become the owner of a mansion that his dead uncle had left to him. The poor Egle was so frightened about her future, she was afraid that when Likas became rich he would forget their love and fall after some town beauty and leave her alone. But she was undecided whether to tell Likas about her fear or not. The moment they parted she was in tears and her tears fell onto the grass and turned into blue flowers, so blue as Elge’s eyes. That was first forget-me-nots. Elge picked and the flowers and gave them to her lover. She kept silence, but Likas understood their meaning and called them: “Don’t forget me.”

The forget-me-not grows everywhere and the interesting fact is that everywhere it has the same name: in German it is Vergimeinnicht, in French - ne-m’oubliez-pas and so on, which in these languages means “don’t forget me.”
