 The Forget-Me-Not flower is the symbol of the Alzheimer Society. Remember the people you know who are affected by Alzheimer's disease by ordering the 2007 50-Cent Sterling Silver Coin- Golden Forget-Me-Not. For every coin sold, $1 will be contributed to the Alzheimer Society.
With their delicate gold-plated designs shining against sterling silver, these floral coins have been remarkably popular since they were first introduced in 2002.
Blossoms to remember
"Forget me not!" cried the drowning knight and the name of this springtime wildflower was born. According to legend, a medieval knight was picking flowers for his lady along a riverbank when he fell into the water under the weight of his armour. Ever since, the 50 species of Myosotis have been called "forget-me-not" in countless countries worldwide and their romantic symbolism for tragedy and faithful love endures to this day.
