We've heard DG make many references to the significance of the forget-me-nots that were in the first episode when Claire goes through the stones for the first time. I was wondering what you think that significance is and how you think it will play out. (not really a question, more a line of thought hahahaha)
Let me share what Diana Gabaldon has said:
The choice of flower was deliberate
She won’t share yet what the significance is
Claire did not plant them
I also found this on the forum for the Scot and the Sassenach podcast:
During some of the pre-show publicity, I remember Diana saying that Ron asked her if it was important that the flower at the base of “the” stone was a particular type. She told him, “Only if you plan to do the entire series.“
Also found this:
Victorian Interpretation: Based mostly on its name, the forget-me-not signifies true love in the Victorian age. It also relates to good memories, memories that you wouldn’t want to forget.Superstitions: The flowers of forget-me-nots almost always have a story that relates to love. Mainly, if couples wore the forget-me-not as a garland, they would never be forgotten by their lovers. What the Forget-Me-Not Means: Just as the name implies, forget-me-nots mean remembrance. It can mean the remembrance of good memories like when two people are together as a couple. It also signifies true love.
Forget-me-nots are also poisonous, though they do have medicinal properties.
Given that Diana is a trained scientist, with a particular interest in botany, I can’t think that the placement of this plant is flippant or accidental. She doesn’t put in *any* kind of plant or animal in her stories without some underlying intent.
To me, there’s a deliberate meaning behind this plant. Whether or not it was deliberately placed there, the choice of the forget-me-not reflects (in part) the journey that Claire is about to go on. And like with so many other things in the Outlander universe, we’ll just have to wait and see…
(I also found this lovely Outlander Plants blog which shares more information about the forget-me-not plant, as well as many other plants featured in The Books)
