The flower has three spaced leaves peeking from behind and is surrounded by a green vine with ten blue forget-me-not flowers, each dotted by a yellow match-head center. In Victorian flower language, the camellia is a symbol of peace and calm, while forget-me-nots are associated with remembrance and memories.
