THE STORY

For the Victorians, Forget Me Not Flowers were a symbol of true love and devotion--often worn or gifted as a declaration of love. 

Before the 1800s, King Henry IV made this flower a popular symbol: He adopted it as his formal emblem in 1398--by the next year, he had ended his exile and successfully regained his throne in England. This gave the flower the connotations of luck and success (not to mention royalty)--because of this, the flower quickly became a good luck charm.
