Chinese wistaria

The flower language of wisteria: It represents deep yearning and yearning for beautiful love.

The flowers of wisteria are purple, and the corolla is butterfly-shaped. The flowering period is from mid-April to early May every year. The flowering period is short and its flowers are edible.

Wisteria also has a beautiful legend:

It is said that there is a woman who wants to have a good relationship and prays for her husband to satisfy her wish every day. Finally, Yue Lao was moved and told her that there was a bamboo forest behind her house, where she would meet a man in white.

So the woman went, waited all day, and was bitten by a snake. A man in white really helped her suck snake venom, so they fell in love.

Because the man's family was poor and the woman's parents disagreed, the man and the woman jumped off the cliff with double suicide. As a result, a wisteria tree with purple flowers grew where they jumped off the cliff, and they could not live alone. Some people say that wisteria is the embodiment of a girl and the man in white is the embodiment of a tree.
