Forget-Me-Not
Upon a day, a lady and her gallant knight went for a stroll along the river bank where, appropriately, he picked her a posy of flowers. Yet unfortunately the weight of his armor got the better of him as he bent to pick a flower and he fell in the river. As the poor knight was drowning, he threw the posy still clutched in his hand to his lady love, shouting "Forget me not!" and was thereafter never seen again.
This is but one tale associated with the name of this flower. Another legend points to baby Jesus sitting on the Virgin Mary's lap gazing into her eyes. So beautiful were they that he wished for all mankind to be able to see them in the centuries to come. With a touch of Her face and a wave of His arm, beautiful little flowers suddenly sprung everywhere.
According to the more formal and rigid tradition of academics however, the name for this flower was first used in English in the year 1532 as a derivative of the old French "ne m'oubliez aps".

| |
Gladioli
Originally derived from the Latin 'gladius', meaning 'sword', these flowers are therefore also called the sword lily and is the official flower of the Gladiators.

From all of us, we do hope it is the former instead of the latter.

Gloxinia

A different version of the tale suggests that the Narcissus did not fall into the river, but spent weeks at the river's side admiring his own reflection. He was in fact so taken with his own image that he forgot to eat and eventually starved.
In both cases, the beautiful narcissus flower we know today sprung up on the spot where the young gent met his end.
