Great shot. It really captures the forget-me-not aesthetic.

Beautiful. When one of my cats died 1.5 years ago, I buried her in my dads garden as I live in an apartment. When I visited 3 weeks later the whole garden was covered in forget-me-nots. Felt fitting and poetic. I now have a tattoo of the flowers as a reminder.

They are called that in English also?!

TIL.

The name just sounds so Dutch, that I never imagined it to be the same in English.

Yeah, even in Russian and Ukrainian they named with same meaning, so I guess it's kinda worldwide name.
