Auspicious Flower

Queen Louise, mother of Prussian Emperor William I, was forced to leave Berlin during a civil war. On her way to escape, the car she was riding in suddenly broke down. She and her two children had no choice but to stop by the roadside and wait for the car to be repaired. While waiting, she found blue cornflowers blooming on the roadside, fresh and beautiful. So she picked these flowers, made a beautiful wreath with them, and put it on the chest of her nine-year-old son William. Later, William I was crowned as the German Emperor. He still loved cornflowers very much and believed that they were auspicious flowers. In addition, cornflowers also inspire people to be cautious and learn with an open mind.

Eye protector

Such a legend is widely circulated among the German people. The great ancient hero, Arminius, unfortunately contracted eye disease during an expedition. One night, the god of war, Ares, suddenly appeared in Arminius' dream and told him that the blue flowers blooming on the roadside in the early morning could cure his eyes. So the next day Arminius found the blue flowers on the roadside, picked them, crushed them and applied them to his eyes. Soon, Arminius' eyes really recovered and he returned triumphantly. So he called cornflower "eye protector" and spread it widely.
