<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 218623, member: 44&quot;]Now that is interesting if this is really Masonic related and that is a forget-me-not. Forget-me-nots and Masonery has quite a German history. After the Nazis came to power in Germany, Masonic stuff were frown on by the Nazis. Involved in Masonic activities could get you jailed and possibly sent to a concentration camp. The use of Masonic emblems was stopped. The forget-me-not flower (not the bud) became a symbol between Masons. </p><p><br /></p><p>Nowwww forget-me-nots (the flower not as a bud) had been a symbol in Germany since the 1920s as a &quot;symbol used by most charitable organizations in Germany, with a very clear meaning: &#039;<b>Do not forget the poor and the destitute</b>&#039;.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.masonicnetwork.org/blog/2009/the-story-behind-forget-me-not-emblem/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.masonicnetwork.org/blog/2009/the-story-behind-forget-me-not-emblem/" rel="nofollow">http://www.masonicnetwork.org/blog/2009/the-story-behind-forget-me-not-emblem/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/lodge788cairncastle/Home/freemasonry-in-general/the-forget-me-not-and-masonic-slipper" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://sites.google.com/site/lodge788cairncastle/Home/freemasonry-in-general/the-forget-me-not-and-masonic-slipper" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/lodge788cairncastle/Home/freemasonry-in-general/the-forget-me-not-and-masonic-slipper</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As this is a bud rather than the full 5 petal blue flower I doubt it has a German connection, but it is interesting that the Square and Compass is on blue, the same shade blue as that of the German Blue forget-me-nots.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
