Beautiful ❤️ I didn’t know what a forget me not looked like until just now but I see them lots of places, most recently in my garden after a trip to Rome when the wildflowers settled into the grass…I begged my husband not to mow it but he’s a stickler for a short lawn, though he did let me enjoy watching the bees and the butterflies for a couple of days. Thanks for sharing the history of the Alaskan state flag and how the forget-me-not came to be the state flower, I enjoyed learning something new. I also feel for the lost lovers, whoever they may be!
Your husband sounds like my partner, in regards to lawns, Rae. A friend asked me if lawns originated in England so I looked it up and in fact they did! In France and England in the 1700s. So I guess it’s in their blood. I still hold out hope that the future is unmown.
Forget-me-nots can easily be transplanted and they will thrive and spread and take over your garden! Happy gardening!

I love them. My grandmother had some in her garden
And I bet you think of her whenever you see them. What a lovely legacy flowers can be.
I'm with Dieter!!! ;o))
Me too, Tomás. 💎🩵 xoxo Like you, they bring peace and love.
My grandfather grew them in his garden in Germany, and I planted them here in Michigan, where they are now self-seeding.
What a lovely connection these little flowers seem to bring. Thank you for sharing that, Birgit.
