The legend of Colchicum

In ancient Europe, the Mediterranean climate was very suitable for the growth of various flowers, so the Mediterranean region of Europe at that time was full of flowers. There were many flowers. The monasteries at that time also liked to use flowers to worship and commemorate dead saints. They often used flowers to decorate ceremonies when holding various ceremonies. Over time, a certain flower became the representative of a certain saint. People would think of this saint when they saw this flower, and later even a flower calendar was created.

In European society, Colchicum actually has some very impolite nicknames, such as "girl without underwear", "naked woman", etc. This is because the flower of Colchicum is so beautiful, so colorful and varied, that it always makes some people have bad associations.
