| The Garden Forget-me-not is a fairly recent European introduction, which has escaped from gardens throughout the Midwest. It is often found in growing large mats in the woods in alongside streams. No one is sure exactly where the common name "forget-me-not" comes from. Some suggest that the plant's unpleasant taste or odor is hard to forget. Another story is about a suitor who reached too far over a cliff to obtain the flower for his love, fell and cried out, "Forget me not!" |
