This is a mysterious and enchanting flower that everyone who sees it is reluctant to leave.

There is a flower so beautiful that people who see it are reluctant to leave for a long time. Although it grows in a way that everyone who sees it likes it, there are still many people who are unwilling to grow it, and the reason lies in a magical legend attached to it. This legend still lingers in people's hearts to this day, causing many people to be unwilling to grow it.

The flower introduced to you today is called the equinox flower. The equinox flower is also called red spider lily. This flower is completely different from other flowers: when it blooms there are no leaves, and when it grows leaves there are no flowers; flower and leaf never meet each other, which forms what folk tradition calls the separation of yin and yang. As the saying goes: life after life, leaf and flower are kept apart; when there is a flower no leaf is seen, when there is a leaf no flower is seen. The red-flowering equinox flower is called Manjusaka, and the white-flowering equinox flower is called Mandarava, one of the four legendary heavenly flowers. The equinox flower often grows on barren hills and grave mounds, and folk legend says it is the flower that blooms on the road to the Yellow Springs. It is said that the fragrance of the equinox flower has great magic power and can awaken the memories of the dead, making them remember the things of their living days. These are nothing but legends. The true flower language of the equinox flower is: graceful and pure, representing beauty and charm. Nowadays many people like to keep it indoors, where it looks especially beautiful and charming.

The equinox flower is a bulbous flower with a very developed root system. It only needs garden soil or ordinary soil; if you use a better humus soil, so much the better. Normally, as long as the soil is kept moist and not dry, there is no need to water. Whether placed indoors or outdoors in the sun, there is no problem. The equinox flower has a dormant period from March to August each year; during this period the leaves may turn yellow and wither, but there is no need to worry about it, as this is a natural phenomenon.

The equinox flower blooms in autumn, with a flowering period of more than two months, and only after the flowers fade does it gradually begin to grow leaves. When growing it, be sure to note that during the dormant period the equinox flower shows no reaction at all; at this time there is no need to do anything, just keep its soil moist, and when autumn comes it will bring you a big surprise.
