The windflower represents the love of rebirth, as it usually blooms from March to April each year, with a blooming period of about 3-4 months.

The windflower is known as the "Western narcissus," and its name comes from the transliteration of the Greek word "Hyacinthus." According to Greek mythology, Hyacinthus was a handsome young man, and the goddess Apollo had long been attracted to him, with the two being good friends. The West Wind god Zephyrus also liked Hyacinthus but was always jealous because of Hyacinthus's friendship with Apollo.
One day, when Apollo and Hyacinthus were playing discus on the prairie, Zephyrus discovered them. Out of jealousy, when Apollo threw the discus towards Hyacinthus, Zephyrus secretly blew hard, causing the heavy discus to strike Hyacinthus's forehead, resulting in a gushing of blood, and the handsome Hyacinthus died.
The blood from Hyacinthus's wound, after flowing into the grass on the ground, soon caused clusters of purple flowers to bloom. Apollo named the flower after Hyacinthus in apology, which is the windflower. Therefore, purple windflowers have also become a symbol of jealousy.
