In Europe and the United States, the first flower given to a lover is the fiery red cockscomb, implying eternal love. Legend has it that there is a big rooster fighting with entertaining ants. They go back and forth, fighting up and down, from night till dawn. The rooster pecked a hole in the head of the entertainment clam to death, but the rooster fell to the ground and was tired to death, and the owner buried the rooster on the top of the hill. Later, a flower grew in the place where the rooster was buried, which was exactly like the crown of a chicken, just like a rooster standing there. People say that the flower was changed by a rooster fighting clams, so they named it "cockscomb flower".

The seedlings can be transferred to other fields and must be watered after transplanting. Weeding and loosening the soil must be done at the seedling stage, and when it is not too dry, water as little as possible. The seedling is 30 centimeters high and should be fertilized once. After sealing off the old leaves, when blooming and heading, if the weather is dry, water should be properly watered to prevent stagnant water in low-lying areas in the rainy season. After heading, the flower buds between the lower leaves and viscera can be erased to facilitate the growth of the main ear at the top.

3. Of course, it can also be cultivated in the greenhouse, as long as you pay attention to the humidity and temperature, but when planted outside the greenhouse, you must take the seedlings outdoors at night to strengthen the seedlings after they sprout and grow four leaves, so that they can learn to adapt to the cold environment, otherwise they will grow slender and delicate and will soon die.
