Pansy Legend

A long, long time ago, Viola flowers were pure white, like clouds in the sky. Cupid, the naughty god of love, is a little naughty boy. The bow and arrow in his hand has the magic of love. Whoever shoots it will fall in love with the person he first sees. It is a pity that Eros is both naughty and inaccurate, so love stories in the world often go wrong. On this day, Eros found another unlucky ghost, ready to use him to shoot arrows. Who knew that an arrow was shot, and suddenly a gust of wind blew over, and the arrow hit the white Viola flower. Blood and tears flowed from the flower heart of the white Viola flower, and the blood and tears could not be wiped away after they were dried. Since then, the white pansy flower has become the pansy of today, which is the origin of the pansy in the myth.
