Forget-me-not

[Kent] Forget-me-nots – the story goes that as god was making the world he thought he had finished when a little voice piped up.  God realised he’d forgotten to colour a tiny flower.  So he gave it the most beautiful colour to ensure it would never again be forgotten [Ruskin Park, London, August 2018].

This is the first and only contribution concerning forget-me-not in the Plant-lore Achive.
