Forget-Me-Not
(Myostis Alpestris)
The first constitution of the Grand Igloo, adopted in Nome in 1908, said the official flower of the Pioneers of Alaska shall be the Alaska Forget-Me-Not. Later, members of the Grand Igloo decided the forget-me-not would make a fine symbol of the Territory of Alaska.  The Governor signed the bill into law April 28, 1917. Ten years later, the forget-me-not received another honor when Alaska’s flag was adopted. The designer said the blue field, or background, represents Alaska’s skies and the forget-me-not. When Alaska became a state, it kept the forget-me-not as its official state flower. The tiny blue flower with the yellow center clearly captured Alaskans’ hearts.
