Speaking of the purple color of hairy glug flowers, there is a legend. Legend has it that Maogeluhua and Yingshanhong compete together. Hairy spikelets grow leaves, which are in good shape, and the azalea is irregular, and the spikelets have no leaves. At first glance, the hairy flower didn't even wear pants, so it opened and turned purple with anger. This is the origin of the fuzzy glume color.

Because the surface of the flower is fine, it is named "hairy glug flower". In addition, it has other aliases such as "big bowl flower" and "husband flower".
