Although heather has a high ornamental value, it is said by word of mouth that heather's flowers are labeled as "the dirtiest flower", "the evil demon king in flowers", "rogue flower" and "the most indecent", which is called "the pain of breathing".
Every spring, heather blossoms, giving off the original breath of legendary life, as pungent as hawthorn. It's called the spring time bomb. Some people say it is the dirtiest and most rogue, because its unspeakable taste is very similar to that of human semen secretion. In a word, Heather's notoriety is certain.
