I. About Grape Hyacinth
Grape hyacinth, known as the "Western narcissus," derives its name from the transliteration of Hyacinthus in Greek, originally the name of a handsome young man loved by the god Apollo in Greek mythology. It is native to southern Europe and Asia Minor. As a world-famous fragrant flower today, it is cultivated most extensively in the Netherlands and sells well around the world. In the West, the flower language of hyacinth is "as long as you ignite the fire of life, you can share a bountiful life," and these words perfectly express the beauty and inner meaning of the hyacinth.

II. Flower Language of Grape Hyacinth
The flower language of grape hyacinth: sorrow, jealousy, melancholic love
Grape hyacinth is fresh and alluring, crystal clear, yet it carries a bittersweet love story. Two people in love could not be together because of their differing social status, and ultimately one person's giving up brought this love to an end. The flower language of grape hyacinth represents sorrow, jealousy, and melancholic love (if you receive my love, you will surely be happy), and it is precisely because of these sad stories that more people become enchanted by the beauty of grape hyacinth.
It is said that long, long ago, the Emperor of Heaven and all the deities truly existed on Earth, and they lived in the sky above our heads. In the heavens lived a beautiful fairy called Chuanling. When she visited the mortal world, she fell in love with a mortal king, and they promised to be together forever. But the Emperor of Heaven could never allow a fairy to love a mortal, so he had the Yue Lao arrange a wife for the mortal king. Not long after, the king complied with the heavenly will and fell in love with that woman, forgetting the oath he had made with the fairy Chuanling and forgetting his promise to her. Upon seeing this, the fairy Chuanling, though unable to believe it, bitterly mocked herself in her heart, feeling utterly helpless. So, in order to see clearly through all of this, the fairy Chuanling descended to the mortal world to reincarnate, and from then on her fate continued through cycle after cycle of reincarnation, all just to see whether the king was truly so unfaithful, until now... Moreover, different colors of hyacinth have different flower languages. After the blooming period of hyacinth, if you want it to bloom again, you need to cut off the previously dying flowers. Therefore, hyacinth also represents reborn love.
