Legend of the Immortal Flower

Legend - Immortal Flower

The name of the fairy flower comes from an ancient myth.

It is said that a long, long time ago, people encountered a great disaster and were in great pain. It can be said that the people were living in misery. It happened that a fairy passing by saw this situation and she felt compassion. So the fairy went to Laozi's alchemy room to steal the elixir.

Soon after the incident, it was discovered that the fairy had stolen the elixir, so Taishang Laojun ordered other fairies to retrieve the fairy and the elixir she had stolen. Seeing that the fairy was about to be caught up by others, he scattered the elixir at the last moment. The elixir fell to the human world and turned into an elixir flower. From then on, there were no more disasters in the human world. Therefore, the iris flower symbolizes the birth of new life.

Legend - Dragon Boat Flower

There is another story about the Ipomoea aquatica.

It is said that before the dragon boat flower blooms, its shape is like a small hairpin, pointing straight towards the blue sky. After the flower blooms, the four petals unfold and look like a cross. In ancient times, the shape of the cross represented a talisman to exorcise evil spirits and plague. So during the Dragon Boat Festival every year, people rowed dragon boats. In order to exorcise evil spirits and plague and seek good luck, this flower was inserted on the dragon boat together with calamus and mugwort. Then, it was called the dragon boat flower.
