The significance of the Forget Me Not symbol
- The Alzheimer Society uses the Forget Me Not flower as a symbol to represent memory loss, one of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
- The Forget Me Not is also a reminder to remember people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, as well as their caregivers.
- The three flowers in the symbol represent the person with dementia, the caregiver and the Alzheimer Society.
