我不懂賞花,但如果叫我選一種我最喜愛的花,我會選擇 - 無忘我...不單是名字很好,在背後傳說中,更有一個淒迷的故事...以下是故事的英文譯本 (網上資料)
In the 15th century Germany, it was supposed that the wearers of the flower will not be forgotten by their lovers.
Legend has it that in medieval times, a knight and his lady were walking along the side of a river. He picked a posy of flowers, but because of the weight of his armour he fell into the river. As he was drowning he threw the posy to his loved one and shouted "Forget-me-not". This is a flower connected with romance and tragic fate. It was often worn by ladies as a sign of faithfulness and enduring love.
It is also told in pious legend that the Christ Child was sitting on Mary's lap one day and said that he wished that future generations could see them. He touched her eyes and then waved his hand over the ground and blue forget-me-nots appeared, hence the name forget-me-not.
