The 'Forget-me-not' flower (Unutma beni çiçeği) is a common motif in Turkish embroidery and traditional crafts, symbolizing lasting friendship. The phrase is the title of one of the most famous songs by Sezen Aksu, the 'Queen of Turkish Pop'. It is considered a national anthem of heartbreak. The concept of 'Vefa' (loyalty) is so important that a historic district in Istanbul is named after it. People often say 'Vefa only exists as a district name now' to lament modern selfishness.
