There is a very sad legend about Clivia. According to legend, there was a prince who fell in love with a girl from an ordinary family, but the princess fell in love with the prince. When the princess found out that the prince was secretly looking at the girl, she was very angry and jealous, so she secretly told the king. The king was so angry that he executed the girl. When the prince found out, he hated the princess even more. The princess became increasingly haggard, and finally became unable to move. Looking at the prince's back, her body turned into mud, and her clothes turned into branches and leaves, and she turned into a Clivia. She always faces the prince and loves him forever until death. So it also has another meaning, which is to be loyal in love.
