I often wonder how the flowers 'love-lies-bleeding' and 'forget-me-not' came to possess such curious names. Any ideas?
I know red is associated with love and blood, but so is it with a million different things. So why does love lie bleeding?
How did the flower 'love-lies-bleeding' earn its name?
The plant was named because of it鈥檚 brightly colored, drooping red flowers. Almost as if the plant itself is spilling forth its life鈥檚 energy.
Reply:Sometime in the late Renaissance or during the Romantic age, the fallen plants were thought tragic like a wounded champion or that "love-lies-bleeding" on the ground.
