  “Myosotis” is Greek meaning mouse ear for the leaf shape.  Around 1390 Henry IV adopted soveigne vous de moy, Forget-me-not, as a symbol not to forget his reign.  A German legend attributes the common name to a lover who, gathering the flower, cried out “forget-me-not” as he fell into the river and died. Alfred Lord Tennyson wrote: “The sweet forget-me-nots; That grow for happy lovers.” Persian poet Shiraz told another folk tale: an angel fell from heaven by falling in love with a “daughter of earth,”when they sat by a river twining Forget-me-not flowers in her hair.  The angel was not allowed to return until the lovers planted Forget-me-nots in every corner of the earth, which they did, hand in hand.  She then became immortal “without tasting the bitterness of death” and joined the angel in Paradise.
