Forget-me nots are actually wildflowers.   I also inherited these from my house’s previous owner.   My garden snail came from a trip to Ellicott city last summer, and is a memory of a visit with my good friend Margaret !   Here is a little history of Forget-me-nots courtesy of Wikapedia:

“In the 15th century Germany, it was supposed that the wearers of the flower would 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.”
