Flower language of trumpet flowers
Love forever. Morning glories are commonly known as "diligent maids," and it is evident from the name that it is a very diligent flower. Whenever the rooster crows for the first time, and the hour hand points to about "four," the trumpet-like morning glory flowers at the top of the vines will bloom. These morning glory flowers allow people in the dawn to breathe the fresh air and enjoy the beautiful flowers among the green leaves, which is indeed very pleasant and endearing.
Blooming period of trumpet flowers
The blooming period of morning glories is from June to October. They usually bloom slowly at around 4-5 in the morning and wither by noon. This is because morning glory flowers are large and thin, containing a lot of moisture. When the sun shines on them, the moisture in the flowers evaporates quickly. If they are in a shady place, the wilting speed of morning glories will be slower, and sometimes the flowers are still open by the afternoon.

Legend of trumpet flowers 1
In the past, in Li Zhuang, Jinzhou, Hebei, there was a young man named Li Hu, who was very strong and powerful, but for some reason, he developed a disease called tympanites. Although he was treated by doctors many times, he did not get better. His wife was very worried and finally invited an old doctor from Lüzhou, Shanxi, to treat Li Hu. The old doctor prescribed a medicine: "Take wild trumpet flower seeds decoction."
Li Hu's wife had never heard of this medicine before and had to visit the old doctor again to inform him of the situation.
After hearing this, the old doctor said, "There are such wild flowers in front of my house in my hometown in Lüzhou, Shanxi. Their seeds are this medicine. You can send someone to my house to get them." Li Hu's wife hurried to Shanxi and brought back wild trumpet flower seeds. After taking a few doses of the decoction, Li Hu indeed improved and was cured in less than a month. To thank the old doctor for saving his life, Li Hu brought a cow to the old doctor's house, thanked him over and over, and asked, "Old sir, what kind of medicine did you give me to treat my illness?" The old doctor was at a loss for words.
It turned out that this wild trumpet flower did not have a name yet. When Li Hu asked, the old doctor thought: This flower seed can cure an incurable disease and has the strength to pull a cow. Today, the patient has brought a cow to the door. Why not call it "morning glory"? He pointed to the wild trumpet flower in front of the door and said, "It's called morning glory. The seeds you took are morning glory seeds, and you are pulling a cow." Since then, the wild trumpet flower has been known as "morning glory."
Legend of trumpet flowers 2
Long ago, in an unknown place and time, a mountain shaped like a lying cow suddenly appeared. People named it "Funiu Mountain." At the foot of Funiu Mountain, there was a small village with not many people, including a family with twin sisters. The villagers were very poor and could not afford to buy cows for plowing, so they had to use some homemade tools to dig and plow the land. The twin sisters lived at the foot of the mountain, cultivating some wasteland in front and behind the mountain. They managed to get by with their own hands, sowing in spring, cultivating in summer, and harvesting in autumn. The two sisters were kind-hearted and often helped people who were even poorer than themselves.
One day, while the sisters were digging, they suddenly encountered a very hard spot. Both sisters tried all their tools but couldn't move an inch of soil. After working hard for a while, they sat on the side of the hard soil to rest. Suddenly, the hard soil split open, and the sister-in-law quickly opened her eyes to see the shiny silver light inside. The younger sister ran over and took out a silver trumpet.
When the sisters were surprised, an old man with white beard and hair suddenly appeared. The old man smiled at them and said, "This mountain was dropped from the sky by the Jade Emperor, and it presses a hundred Qingniu jinn (black bull demons) inside. These Qingniu jinn have cultivated themselves very well, turned into human form, and done evil in the world. The Jade Emperor subdued them and pressed them under Funiu Mountain. They have been pressed for 900 years now, and by tomorrow, they will all turn into golden cows and no longer harm the world. This silver trumpet is the key to Funiu Mountain. Tonight, when you hear '哗啦啦' sounds from the mountain, there will be a place emitting golden light. That is the mountain eye. As long as you insert the silver trumpet into it and say the incantation 'Funiu Mountain,哗啦啦, open the mountain with my silver trumpet' three times, the mountain eye will become larger and allow one person to enter. You can then抱 out a golden cow and live comfortably for the rest of your life. This key appears once every 900 years and is effective for a short while. When the sun rises, it will no longer work. Be careful not to be trapped by the mountain, or you will die for sure. Also, do not blow the silver trumpet, or all 100 cows will come to life and rush out of the mountain." Before the sisters could recover from their shock, the old man had disappeared.
The sisters knew they had encountered an immortal and were very happy. They hurried home and discussed how to open the mountain and抱 a golden cow. The older sister said, "We must hurry and try to抱 all 100 golden cows out and distribute them to the poor villagers, so they no longer have to endure the landlords' bullying and can all live a good life." The younger sister said, "Golden cows are good, but they can't be eaten. Gold and silver are valuable to the rich, but to the poor, they are not as valuable as a spoon of flour. If we blow the silver trumpet and turn all the golden cows into live cows and distribute them to the villagers, wouldn't that be better?" The older sister happily agreed to the younger sister's idea.
So, the sisters went in different directions to notify the villagers to go to the foot of Funiu Mountain to catch cows at night. That night, there was no moon or stars in the sky, and it was pitch dark in front and behind the mountain, with no light visible. The older sister pulled the younger sister from the front to the back of the mountain and listened, hearing nothing. The older sister said to the younger sister, "Don't give up, let's wait a bit longer." Thus, they waited until dawn when they suddenly heard a "哗啦啦" sound from inside the mountain, and a dazzling golden light shone from the north slope.
The sisters hurried to the place where the light was shining. They saw that the hole was only as thick as a finger, and looking inside, they saw a golden square table with a row of bull-sized golden cows neatly arranged on it. The younger sister quickly took out the silver trumpet and inserted it into the mountain eye, while the older sister chanted, "Funiu Mountain,哗啦啦, open the mountain with my silver trumpet." After repeating it three times, the mountain eye slowly became larger but only enough for one person to crawl in. The older sister went in first, followed by the younger sister.
As soon as the older sister entered, she blew the silver trumpet. Immediately, the golden cows on the table came to life, stretched their legs, shook their fur, and jumped off the table, turning into big cows. They rushed out of the mountain eye. As the last cow's head just came out, the east began to turn slightly red, and the mountain eye slowly decreased in size. This worried the sisters, who tried to push the cows' buttocks but couldn't move them.
As for the villagers, when they heard the trumpet sound, they ran to Funiu Mountain and saw cows running all over the mountain. They ran up and each grabbed a cow, feeling grateful to the sisters. They wanted to thank them but couldn't find their whereabouts. Then, someone discovered the cow that was stuck. Some villagers pulled the cow's head, others pulled its feet, trying to pull it out, but it wouldn't budge. Later, someone put a nose ring on the cow's nose and tied a long rope to it. Everyone worked together to pull, and when the cow felt the pain, it stamped its feet and came out. The mountain eye immediately closed, trapping the sisters inside.
By then, the sun had risen, and the silver trumpet in the mountain eye turned into a trumpet flower. Some people say that the trumpet flower is also called "morning glory" to commemorate the sisters. Others say that the famous Nanyang yellow cows are the descendants of those golden cows!
