Cockscomb flowers are named for their resemblance to a rooster's comb. At this cockscomb flower field in Beidou, Changhua, four colors—fiery red, purple-red, orange-red, and bright yellow—are grown together. The colors are fade-resistant and maintain their shape well, creating stunning layers of vibrant hues.

Qixi Valentine's Day is not only the annual meeting day of the Cowherd and the Weaving Maid but also the birthday of the “Seven Mothers” in folk belief. Cockscomb flowers are the main offering for worship, believed to protect children and bring good fortune in love, which is why large cockscomb fields often appear around Qixi.
